A range of travel interests come together on Eckerö: Labbas is often the venue for cultural events, and the Eckerö Golf courses are surrounded by forest edges. In the wider Eckerö destination, geology, history and swimming add further themes. You can choose between a cultural evening, golf, and interests in geological history, cultural heritage or the beach. When planning, it is worth deciding what matters most to you.

Cultural events in Labbas

Labbas is often the venue for cultural events, including song and poetry evenings as well as film evenings. These examples offer different cultural formats: song and poetry evenings focus on language and performance, while film evenings offer a different emphasis. If a particular evening is essential to your trip, check the current event dates in advance.

Eckerö Golf: Courses and tee options

The Eckerö Golf courses are surrounded by forest edges; the course has bunkers and ponds. Both the layout of the course and the golfing itself are specific points of interest. Golf enthusiasts can get a sense of the course from its holes and surroundings.

In the wider Eckerö destination, Eckerö Golf has four different tee options. These include options that make the game suitable for beginners, young people and players with shorter hitting distances. The number of tee options and the groups mentioned make golf a concrete option for different player profiles. If you include golf in your travel plans, you can consider the choices in light of your own playing ability.

Geology and history in the wider Eckerö destination

The 350-metre-long Geostigen “Genom eld och is” begins just outside the Ålands Jakt- och Fiskemuseum, passes boathouses and leads to the cliffs by the sea, showcasing rocks from different geological eras. In the wider Eckerö destination, the trail conveys the geological history of Åland over two billion years. The length of the trail and the timescale put two very different magnitudes in perspective: the route is 350 metres long, while the geological history it presents spans billions of years.

The Eckerö Post- & tullhus draws attention to another part of the past. In the wider Eckerö destination, the building served as a Russian border station facing Sweden for more than a hundred years. It is an important part of Åland’s cultural heritage and is closely connected to the old Postvägen. Geological history and the former border function of a particular building thus represent different historical perspectives.

For those interested in swimming, Degersand beach offers another point of interest in the wider Eckerö destination. A gently sloping stretch of the Åland Sea invites adults and children to swim. This sets it apart from the cultural and historical highlights: the focus here is a stretch of beach for swimming. Those who also take swimming into account when choosing a destination will find a specific natural feature here.
