Description
On the northern side of Stora Eken, there are still some large oak trees that gave the island its name. Stora Eken is the largest island in the Eken archipelago and was inhabited from the 1500s until the 1960s, when farming and forestry were practiced there. Today, parts of the island are grazed by horses in the summer. The island boasts a rich flora and fauna, including water birds, hares, moose, and deer. The trail is largely lake-adjacent through hilly terrain, and you will need a boat to reach it.

Public Transportation: During the summer season, Västtrafik bus 132 Lidköping-Spiken runs at certain times of the day all the way to Läckö. Usually, the bus stops closest in Spiken, from where there is a 2 km walk between Spiken and Läckö.
Car/Bike: Distance is approximately 25 km from Lidköping.
To reach Stora Eken from Läckö Castle, we recommend renting a kayak or canoe at Läckö Castle, or alternatively, contact a boat charter service if you do not have access to your own boat.
