Ekeby Camping

Dips in the lake, basks on the beach and peaceful days kayaking on Västra Silen lake are top picks from Ekeby Camping if you don't want to travel too far; avid anglers will be made up too with the fishy picks from the lake, where salmon of up to 12kg have been landed. For snapshotting opps, tip your camera towards the man of Borgåsgubben, the stone statue built around the sixteenth or seventeenth century as some sort of rocky Swedish scarecrow, and the designated viewpoint over the lake and surrounding forest within about 15 minutes' drive. Also nearby are horse riding excursions and riding lessons at the small and private farm of Mosseruds Gård, and canoeing at the Nordmarkens Canoe Center 23 kilometres away. If, however, you're a fortunate enough sort to have your own kayak or canoe? Launch it straight from the campsite for a paddle on the lake.
