“A tribute to the countryside, food and local entrepreneurshipet! For a few days every autumn, farmers open their farms to invite visitors to take part in their everyday lives. There you will encounter rural life and everything it has to offer. The harvest festival also attracts restaurants and food processors who all offer visitors food experiences from Åland. Åland is special and wherever I turn in the world, it is home.
I wish you the same feeling of touch, warm welcome!”
Birgitta Eriksson-Paulson, Executive Director of the Harvest Festival Friends Association

Åland Hunting and Fishing Museum
The Åland Hunting and Fishing Museum showcases Åland's hunting and fishing traditions through historical artefacts, exhibitions, and natural history collections. Visitors can also explore displays featuring the wildlife of Åland as well as temporary exhibitions presented throughout the year.
The museum is located in the scenic fishing village of Käringsund, just a short walk from the campsite.
Käringsund’s wildlife safari Come along on a guided tour in the safari trolley among deers, boars, ostriches and llamas at Käringsund’s wildlife safari. In the pasture the animals live in their natural environment, but are still so used to humans that they allow us to come near them.
The Eckerö Post and Customs House was built in 1828 and designed in the Empire style by architect Carl Ludvig Engel. It is considered one of Engel's most important secular buildings. The building served as the Russian Empire's border station towards Sweden and holds an important place in Åland's history.
The building and its surroundings form a significant part of Åland's cultural heritage and are closely linked to the historic Postal Route between Sweden and Finland.
Every summer, exhibitions are held featuring themes such as local crafts, art, and cultural history.
Åland offers many scenic hiking trails, suitable for both short walks and longer excursions. Two of these trails are located here in Eckerö, while several others can be found throughout Åland.
Feel free to ask at the reception for maps and recommendations, or visit the Visit Åland website for more information.
