Discover Eckerö: Culture and Golf

Eckerö offers a variety of reasons to visit: Labbas is often the setting for cultural events, and Eckerö Golf is a destination for golf enthusiasts. The wider Eckerö destination also features geology, cultural heritage and coastal scenery.

Culture evenings in Labbas

Labbas is often the setting for cultural events, including evenings of song and poetry as well as film evenings. These examples represent different formats and make the venue a specific point of interest for travellers who want to include culture in their time in Eckerö. If you want to plan around a particular evening, check the event dates in advance. This lets you make a culture evening a planned part of your trip.

Golf among woodland edges, bunkers and ponds

The Eckerö Golf fairways are surrounded by woodland edges, and the course has bunkers and ponds. In the wider Eckerö destination, Eckerö Golf has four different tee options, including options that make the game suitable for beginners, young people and golfers with shorter hitting distances. The course description draws attention to the surroundings and design; the tee options add a range of playing choices. This makes golf a distinct focus alongside the cultural events in Labbas.

More to explore in the wider Eckerö destination

The 350-metre-long Geostigen “Through Fire and Ice” begins just outside the Ålands Jakt- och Fiskemuseum. From there, the path passes boathouses on its way to the seaside cliffs and showcases rocks from different geological periods. It conveys Åland’s geological history over a span of two billion years. The 350-metre distance and the two-billion-year span refer to different things: one describes the path, the other the geological period.

Another historical point of interest is Eckerö Post- & tullhus. It is an important part of Åland’s cultural heritage and is closely connected to the old Postvägen. For more than a hundred years, it served as a Russian border station facing Sweden. Together, Geostigen and Post- & tullhus illustrate two different time scales: geological history spanning billions of years and a historical border function that lasted for more than a century.

Degersand beach adds a scenic and swimming-focused attraction. There, the Åland Sea has a gently sloping stretch that invites adults and children to swim. This is a different focus from the geological trail or the historic Post- & tullhus: here, the beach and swimming take centre stage.
