At the centre of Lunina dolina stands the yurt. Not as decoration — as a heart. Its circle gathers people, its warmth lets them soften, and its silence returns them to themselves.
The yurt is for those looking for a space to create, to go deeper, and to be together. No walls to divide. Only a circle that unites.
"When you step into the yurt, you leave outside everything that does not matter. Only what you truly are remains."
A wooden lattice, a crown that opens to the sky, and room for a circle of people — bright by day, warm in the evening.
Mongolian tradition
People were building round dwellings thousands of years ago. In the heart of Lunina dolina stands one of them – a genuine Mongolian yurt. Mongolians call it a ger, which simply means home. What makes it special is not only where it comes from, but its shape, its construction and the centuries of knowledge it carries.
A yurt has no corners. No beginning and no end – just a closed circle. The circle has always stood for wholeness and the constant renewal of life, like the turning of the seasons and of day and night. When we sit in a circle, we face one another. Nobody is in a corner; everyone has their place. A yurt doesn’t divide – it connects.
Look up and you will see wooden poles converging like rays of sunlight on the central roof ring – the toono, in Mongolian. Light and fresh air enter the yurt through it, and in Mongolian tradition the toono links the home with the sky. It once served as a clock, too: families could tell the time of day by where the sun shone through the opening.
The frame of our yurt is original Mongolian work and traditionally painted. The ornaments are more than decoration – many carry messages of happiness, long life, prosperity and closeness to nature.
Beneath the outer protective layer lies insulation made of felted sheep’s wool. For centuries Mongolian nomads felted the wool of their animals into a dense, durable layer that keeps warmth in during winter and heat out in summer. As the yurt is also heated, it stays comfortable in the colder months too. Sheep graze on our pastures as well – a daily reminder of how precious this natural material is.
Its round shape stands up to the winds of the steppe, and its frame can be taken apart, carried and put up again. Without complicated technology, nomadic families created a home suited to nature. This knowledge is so valuable that in 2013 UNESCO inscribed the traditional craftsmanship of the Mongol ger and its associated customs on the List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Dwellings like this once travelled with nomadic families and their herds across vast pastures. Today our yurt stands among the meadows, trees and animals of Lunina dolina – two worlds united by respect for nature and its rhythms. Children, makers, families, friends and people with new ideas gather in it.
We hope it can be more than a shelter: a place where you pause for a moment, connect, and take a good story home with you.
When we decided to put up a yurt, we wanted something genuine — so we imported it straight from Mongolia, with the original traditional instructions and measurements. For us, used to European standards where a millimetre is simply a millimetre, the "Mongolian centimetre" was a mild culture shock — a considerably more "flexible" concept than we had expected. Putting it up was a real test of patience, resourcefulness and creative expression. But it stands firm and proud in the middle of our valley.
