Wallåkra A Rich Experience In Genuine Settings
In beautiful surroundings, the old pottery in Vallåkra, south west Skane, is a combination of good food and local history that comes together in a unique experience. This locality is a cultural heritage in an authentic environment that I have visited several times to get spelled by this both wild and old atmosphere, near Copenhagen.
Meet Åsa Orrmell the proprietor who restored and renovated the old firing kiln in respect of old technique and craftsmanship. She will tell you her story and proudly guide you around her kingdom, the old mill, nowadays the restaurant, the pottery shop, the 
studio and meeting room and of course the old kiln for salt glazed ceramics. Four times a year the kiln will be opened after finished the burning process. It has to
cool down for two weeks before you can enter the doorway.
When coal was mined here, the clay once trampled by dinosaurs 180 million years ago- came up with it. The pottery factory from 1864 is a fantastic piece of heritage where you are invited to get back to the roots of this community by trying the local art of pottery for yourself.
You are welcome to join the work and help Åsa to heat up the kiln with coal and also to witness the exciting opening months later – how will the pots come out this time? Every pot is unique and almost 99% sold in the shop here.
The culture heritage heroine Åsa, says she will add her story to the products and therefore keep most of the selling close to here heart.
The restaurant, is situated in a typical storehouse from the turn of the century. In the doorway you have to step over the glass floor, under which you will see the trouts swimming in the small creek that runs under the building.
From your table in the restaurant you will watch the chefs busy work by creating fine dining, composing seasonal menus with the very best of local produce.
All of this combined with a complete conference facility creates a perfect getaway with year-round activities, 2-3 hours in an ever changing scenery.
