Scenic site rich in history
Right next to the E4 highway, where the Huskvarna River flows into Lake Vättern, once stood the mighty Rumlaborg fortress. Strategically important, the fortress spanned from Brunstorp in the north to the Huskvarna River in the south.
Originally named Humlaborg, the fortress derives its name from the bishop’s manor Humblarum, established in the late 1200s or early 1300s. Why the name later changed to Rumlaborg remains uncertain.
