Eklanda, Mölndal — Area Guide & Where to Stay

What are the main landmarks in Eklanda?

The draw lies back toward the centre. Eklanda is a planned residential reach of western Mölndal rather than a quarter of monuments, but the Göteborgs bryggerimuseum sits down in the town within easy reach of its streets. The centre lies east.

The core of Mölndals kommun sits a short ride down from the district, the quarter of Solängen adjoins it to the south, and the higher ground of Eklanda looks back over the mill valley toward the heart of Mölndal.

What is the history of Eklanda?

The town climbed the western heights. Mölndal grew around its mill valley in south-western Sweden, and as housing reached up the higher ground to the west, Eklanda was laid out as a planned residential district above the centre. The plan shaped the streets.

The western reach of Mölndals kommun filled in as ordered home streets looking back over Mölndal toward the centre and the Göteborgs bryggerimuseum, and the district settled into the quiet built-up quarter it has kept above the valley.

Where is Eklanda?

Eklanda spreads across the western side of Mölndal, in south-western Sweden, a planned residential district of Mölndals kommun laid out on the higher ground away from the mill valley at the centre, its streets running west from the core of the town toward the boundary it shares with the southern quarter of Solängen.
