Located not far from the southern tip of the almost sea-like Lake V\u00e4ttern, fruit trees, especially apple trees, have been grown here for generations. The view of the lake, whose proximity provides a unique climate for apple cultivation, is wonderful and creates a real Sweden vacation feeling. Actually, as Pelle Rudenstam, the son of the owner, reports, Sm\u00e5land is already too far north to allow for good fruit growing. However, the first trees came to Sm\u00e5land through a leading engineer at the nearby weapons factory in Huskvarna. This employee traveled to Detroit in the 19th century to observe the production methods there. In addition to innovations for the factory, he also brought back the realization that it might be worthwhile to start fruit growing on the shores of Lake V\u00e4ttern, which reminded him of the great lakes in North America. Many apple farms are still family-owned businesses today, including Rudenstams. The 35-hectare orchard has been in the hands of the Rudenstam family since 1947. Initially, Nils Rudenstam started selling his own apples from the farm on the marketplace in Huskvarna as a young boy.<\/p>\n<p>\n                <\/div>\n                                                <div class=\"dynamicContentTwoColumns dynamicContentTwoColumns__imageWrapper\">\n                    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image00007.jpg\" class=\"attachment-500x500 size-500x500\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image00007.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image00007-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image00007-768x1025.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image00007-1151x1536.jpg 1151w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/>                <\/div>\n                                                <div class=\"dynamicContentTwoColumns dynamicContentTwoColumns__text\">\n                    <p><p>This market sale remained a family tradition until demand eventually became so great that it could no longer be managed logistically.

Here, the &#8220;old&#8221; Sweden, from the time of Astrid Lindgren, is kept alive. The special thing about a Swedish cultural reserve is that both the nature and the cultural treasures of a region must be protected and preserved. \u00c5sens was the first cultural reserve in Sweden and has existed since 2000. It is a typical Sm\u00e5land village with classic Swedish architecture. But there are also typical old Swedish landraces of Swedish farm animals to admire. The sheep of the village are incredibly trusting and like to be petted, the only condition being that they must be allowed to decide for themselves whether they want to go to the visitors or not. In a rustic atmosphere, you can enjoy typical Sm\u00e5land cheesecake and buy handmade items from the region in the old converted barn. However, the highlight of the village is the old house of Thekla, the last resident of the village. Since her death in the 1980s, everything has been preserved as it was during her lifetime. As a visitor, you can really experience what rural life in Sweden looked like over 100 years ago. The old photos of Thekla&#8217;s family on the wall are just as impressive as the old pantry or the &#8220;utedass&#8221;, the outdoor toilet. <\/p>\n<p>\n                <\/div>\n                                                <div class=\"dynamicContentTwoColumns dynamicContentTwoColumns__text\">\n                    <p><p>There are now 47 cultural reserves in Sweden, 20 of which are directly financed by the Swedish state. In \u00c5sens By, in addition to the old houses, you can also observe how agriculture was practiced in earlier times, participate in courses and workshops on all sorts of topics, and even stay overnight. There is something for every taste in the accommodation options, from the spacious main farmhouse to the very rustic lumberjack hut in the woods. Children can play safely throughout the area and adults can enjoy the charm of the good old days. \u00c5sens By is definitely a must for all fans of Bullerb\u00fc who also want to learn a little more about the history of the region.<\/p>\n<p>\n                <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-visitsmaland-greige-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">    <div class=\"quoteBlock quoteBlock__wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"quoteBlock quoteBlock__container\">\n            <h3 class=\"quoteBlock quoteBlock__quote\">\n                &#8220;The historic region of Sm\u00e5land is a popular travel destination for good reason, both for young and old &#8211; here you can experience not only beautiful landscapes and vast pine forests, but also a diverse cultural heritage.&#8221;\n            <\/h3>\n            <hr>\n                        <p class=\"quoteBlock quoteBlock__quoteBy\">\n                &#8211; WIEBKE JAHN            <\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"contentCta contentCta__wrapper\">\n    <div class=\"contentCta contentCta__container\">\n                        <h2 class=\"contentCta contentCta__heading\" style=\"color: \">\n                Experience Store Mosse National Park            <\/h2>\n                        <hr>\n                <div class=\"contentCta contentCta__ctaWrapper\">\n            <div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n                                                                                            <div class=\"wp-block-button \">\n                    <a aria-label=\"Store Mosse National Park\" class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sverigesnationalparker.se\/en\/choose-park---list\/store-mosse-national-park\" style=\"background-color: #fbbd51; color: \">\n                        Store Mosse National Park                    <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n                                                                                                <div class=\"wp-block-button \">\n                    <a aria-label=\"Naturum\" class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sverigesnationalparker.se\/en\/choose-park---list\/store-mosse-national-park\/visitor-information\/visitor-centre-opening-hours\/\" style=\"background-color: #fbbd51; color: \">\n                        Naturum                    <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"dynamicContentTwoColumns dynamicContentTwoColumns__wrapper\">\n    <div class=\"dynamicContentTwoColumns dynamicContentTwoColumns__container\">\n                                    <h3 class=\"dynamicContentTwoColumns dynamicContentTwoColumns__heading\">\n                    Store Mosse National Park                <\/h3>\n                                                <div class=\"dynamicContentTwoColumns dynamicContentTwoColumns__imageWrapper\">\n                    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"429\" src=\"https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/wiebke-jahn-store-mosse4-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-500x500 size-500x500\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/wiebke-jahn-store-mosse4-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/wiebke-jahn-store-mosse4-300x258.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/wiebke-jahn-store-mosse4-1024x879.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/wiebke-jahn-store-mosse4-768x659.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/wiebke-jahn-store-mosse4-1536x1318.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/wiebke-jahn-store-mosse4-2048x1758.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>                <\/div>\n                                                <div class=\"dynamicContentTwoColumns dynamicContentTwoColumns__text\">\n                    <p><p>As some of you may know, I myself live in Swedish Lapland, but my love for the barren landscape of the north actually originated in Sm\u00e5land.

First of all, I would recommend a visit to the &#8220;Naturum&#8221;. Here, an exhibition has been created with great attention to detail that informs visitors about the importance of moors for our climate, as well as the flora and fauna of the national park and the history of humans and nature in this area.

Here, everyone has the agony of choice and can have a great nature experience in this national park. It is particularly nice that there are also barrier-free paths.

&#8211; The Kingdom fo Crystal<\/a>. The so-called &#8220;Kingdom of Crystal&#8221; is a historically very exciting region that is worth discovering. Glass has been processed here since the 17th century, after craftsmen from Germany and Holland were recruited to settle glass art in Sweden. With its naturally occurring raw materials, Sm\u00e5land has been and still is a very good location to produce glass, and over the centuries an incredible cultural heritage has developed in the region. Today there are still 14 different glassworks in operation and there are many exciting things to experience in many places.
