Birds and traditional bread in a historic rural landscape

Birds and traditional bread in a historic rural landscape

Welcome to a beautiful landscape at Ängslyckan in the historic area of the Vendel and Viking eras. We are located at the bird-rich lake of Vendel, only 40 km north of Uppsala, in a genuine rural setting. Ängslyckan offers a unique combination of traditional bread and food in a biodiversity rich landscape.

Enjoy our historic meal:

A blend of historic dishes from the Vendel and Viking eras with a variety of authentic foods including roast pork, skyr with wild herbs, roast turnips, traditional cheese, smoked herring, old grain & fruit porridges and traditional bread, including the Viking drink mead.

Choose from following activities:

  1. A fascinating presentation of the global and Swedish history of bread, combined with tasting a variety of ancient and traditional breads.

  2. A guided bird walk in the garden by lake Vendel’s birdlife in nature-based pastoral land. 

  3. A short baking course/activity – sourdough bread, traditional Swedish “knäckebröd” (thin bread), outdoor Viking bread baked over an open fire. Mill your own flour by hand and learn more about ancient grains
