Happy May, welcome to our village again!
Happy May, welcome, friend of our games!
The god flame of emotion was awakened at your brightening<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year it was also the first of May and we therefore went to Eken\u00e4s for a traditional May Day. After an unusually cold spring, it was really nice that the sun came out just when we were going out for a walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eken\u00e4s is located at the far end of V\u00e4rmlandsn\u00e4s and offers beautiful nature and two climate zones, harvest festival<\/a>, culture barn<\/a> and also a nice restaurant with beautiful views. If you have a little more time, you can take boat shuttles<\/a> out to Lur\u00f6 but there will be more in a separate post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around the Eken\u00e4s headland there are a few different leather<\/a> which together form a circuit of approx. 6 km of very easy walking. Along the way there are several beautiful viewpoints and a swimming area. For the more dedicated hiker we can also mention Western V\u00e4rmland pilgrimage trail<\/a> which starts at Lur\u00f6, passes Eken\u00e4s and then all the way to Nidaros (Trondheim). The part of the trail that stretches between Eken\u00e4s and S\u00e4ffle is approx. 5.7 miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eken\u00e4s also has a small guest harbour with a caf\u00e9, as well as a campsite with a brand new and pleasant restaurant. Restaurant Eken\u00e4s<\/a> has a large terrace overlooking Lake V\u00e4nern, which in combination with good service provides a peaceful and pleasant experience. As it was the first day of the season, they had a slightly more limited menu but we still managed to find something that suited us both. They also announced that they will have a much larger prawn sandwich for the rest of the season... \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a curiosity, the road in the picture below is located near Eken\u00e4s. The old sailor Sven Ottersten emigrated to the USA and started a company there which, before he sold it, was one of the country's largest electrical wholesalers. On a visit to his hometown, he saw the deplorable state of the road and donated $1 million to restore it. In honour of this gift, the road was named Dollar Road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
