Nostalgia trip

Stepping into Katthult is like stepping straight into the summer days of childhood where the gravel crunches underfoot, the wind howls in the birches and Emil’s laughter echoes between the red gables of the houses. Here, among the carpentry boa, flagpole and chicken coop, memories are brought to life from the beloved films about Emil in Lönneberga. You see the kitchen window where Ida was hoisted up, the table where Emil’s mother cooked party food and the meadow where Emil’s antics always took off. Everything has been preserved exactly as it looked in the films so that both young and old can feel the magic of being part of Astrid Lindgren’s world, if only for a day. Katthult is not just a place, it is a piece of living history that never ceases to touch.

A visit to Astrid Lindgren’s Näs is like walking straight into the author’s world – not the fictional one, but the real one. Here in the small rectory in Vimmerby, Astrid grew up among lilac hedges, apple trees and a thousand childhood adventures. You walk in the same garden where her imagination took shape, where play met seriousness and where the foundation was laid for stories that would be loved by generations. In the house, every room breathes history and in the beautiful garden, ideas, feelings and memories sprout.

Take a step straight into the idyll of childhood and experience Bullerbyn for real. Here, in the middle of the Småland landscape, lie the three farms in a row – Norrgården, Mellangården and Sörgården – just like in Astrid Lindgren’s stories. Walk on the paths where children ran barefoot, peek into the houses and let your imagination take you back to a time filled with mischief, friendship and summer holidays that never ended. In Bullerbyn, the simple life lives on, where every day offers small adventures and big smiles.
