Småland’s Archipelago
In northeastern Småland, outside Västervik, you’ll find the Tjust Archipelago – a magical world of beautiful islands and skerries scattered along the Baltic Sea coast. With a coastline stretching 200 km north to south and 4,250 km including its 5,000 islands, islets, and skerries, it’s a paradise many of us cherish. The archipelago not only offers fresh air and natural beauty, but also a growing, yet tastefully scaled selection of restaurants, guest harbors, guided tours, and accommodations. Additionally, a broad range of outdoor activities is available, such as bouldering, kayaking, fishing, and diving.
Paddling in Småland
Gliding through the water in a canoe is almost silent. It allows you to experience the wilderness up close – a wonderful experience. Småland’s lakes and rivers offer fantastic routes for canoeing and kayaking. The mix of calm open waters and narrow passages makes it ideal for beginners and experienced paddlers alike. Why not take the adventure to the next level and paddle on the open sea along Småland’s coast? Enjoy being as close to nature as possible, and camp on an uninhabited island, where you can sit by a campfire and watch the sun set over shimmering waters. This is Småland at its best.

Småland is one of the regions in Sweden with the highest moose population, with approximately 30,000 elk living in its deep forests. Perhaps that’s why we have so many mosse parks. Or maybe it’s because we have so many visitors from Germany, Denmark, and the Netherlands, where there are no wild elk in their countries. Either way – elk parks are both a safe and fun way to get close to the shy king of the forest.
