Welcome to Småland
Discover Småland
Småland is forests, meadows, pastures, and shimmering lakes. The forests stretch for miles and invite you to hike, pick mushrooms and berries. Here, you can experience absolute silence, only interrupted by birdsong and possibly the tread of the king of the forest – the moose. This is where Emil of Lönneberga (that boy Emil) and The Children of Noisy Village lived their lives in Astrid Lindgren’s books. The red cottages and fields look exactly as they did then. Welcome!
National Parks
Småland boasts Scandinavia’s southernmost wilderness. Store Mosse, Norra Kvill, Blå Jungfrun and soon also Åsnen comprise the region’s national parks, protected areas that invite you to enjoy the splendor of nature, with care.
