In the summer of 1931, the crown prince pair
Gustav Adolf and Louise came to Lekvattnet. In fairest summertime the
people in Lekvattnet greeted them. The first visit concerned the home
district farm Karmen Kynna. The road up to the farm was lined with
schoolchildren from Mårbacken, Ormhöjden, Vittjärn and Kyrkskolan,
all with Swedish flags in their hands. The chairman Erik Lindow said
welcome.
After a tour of the farm, a trip to Fäbacken was
organized and the highest point, Burkberget, was visited. They carved
their names on a stone that still lies there.
After the visit to Burkberget they went to Lekvattnet's tourist hotel.
There, a small mother stood, Kajsa Nilsson(age 81), and gave them two
homemade whisps. The crown prince thanked her and said that they were
glad to come to Lekvattnet! Then the mother Kajsa patted him on the
sleeve and said "That is true". At the hotel, the hostess had
arranged dinner. The decoration of the tables was a narrow bed of moss,
cowberry rice, linnéa and pyrola and meadow wool. This aroused the
crown prince's consciousness with deep admiration.
In the evening all of the people came to the hotel's
parking lot, in order to admire the Cadillac.
It lacked the number sign,
but had instead a royal crown. This was a memorable event for the
district's people of Lekvattnet.
