Äskhult Village

Äskhult is a genuine 19th century village with 17th and 18th century roots. Once you leave the car park, there's little to remind you of the modern world. Join a tour of the village, explore the country lanes or stroll along paths of Hallandsleden. The café serves homemade treats following traditional local recipes.
