Here, the houses of various confectioners line up side by side. It&#8217;s almost impossible to pass by the colorful shop windows displaying Gr\u00e4nna&#8217;s famous red and white-striped treat: Polkagris. Those who wish can not only taste the peppermint-flavored sweets but even make them themselves. What a wonderful experience to reach into the sweetness and taste the warm Polkagris dough! It tastes unforgettable.<\/p>\n<p>\n                <\/div>\n                                                <div class=\"dynamicContentTwoColumns dynamicContentTwoColumns__text\">\n                    <p><p>Adults and children can shape, roll, and cut warm and soft sugar in the bakery of Grenna Polkagriskokeri. Everything is still made by hand here &#8211; just like in the time when young widow Amalia Eriksson invented the striped candy canes. On the wall above the work surface hangs one of the scissors she used to make Polkagris as the first producer in Sweden since 1859. But even without polkagrisar, wandering through the town brings delight. Cozy cafes and small shops await to be discovered on the streets. The deep blue of Lake V\u00e4ttern with the island of Visings\u00f6 between the houses always appears in the background. In Gr\u00e4nna, you will also come across the traces of another famous figure. Decorations in the shape of a gas balloon can be seen everywhere. Gr\u00e4nna is the birthplace of Salomon August Andr\u00e9e, who gained sad fame through his failed 1897 expedition to the North Pole. Some of the remnants of this adventure journey with the hydrogen balloon can be visited today at the museum in Gr\u00e4nna.<\/p>\n<p>\n                <\/div>\n                                                <div class=\"dynamicContentTwoColumns dynamicContentTwoColumns__imageWrapper\">\n                    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"334\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/marion2-a67aedf089933d0182f3cc1749e205f7-535x800-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-500x500 size-500x500\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/marion2-a67aedf089933d0182f3cc1749e205f7-535x800-1.jpg 535w, https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/marion2-a67aedf089933d0182f3cc1749e205f7-535x800-1-201x300.jpg 201w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 334px) 100vw, 334px\" \/>                <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"68861\" src=\"https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/marion-rottle-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-68861\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/marion-rottle-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/marion-rottle-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/marion-rottle-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/marion-rottle-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/marion-rottle-2-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" data-id=\"68871\" src=\"https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/marion_granna-glass-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-68871\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/marion_granna-glass-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/marion_granna-glass-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/marion_granna-glass-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/marion_granna-glass-1536x862.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/marion_granna-glass-2048x1150.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"68876\" src=\"https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/marion_rudenstams-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-68876\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/marion_rudenstams-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/marion_rudenstams-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/marion_rudenstams-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/marion_rudenstams-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/marion_rudenstams-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"dynamicContentTwoColumns dynamicContentTwoColumns__wrapper\">\n    <div class=\"dynamicContentTwoColumns dynamicContentTwoColumns__container\">\n                                    <h3 class=\"dynamicContentTwoColumns dynamicContentTwoColumns__heading\">\n                    Visings\u00f6                <\/h3>\n                                                <div class=\"dynamicContentTwoColumns dynamicContentTwoColumns__text\">\n                    <p><p>Those who love history are also in good hands at Lake V\u00e4ttern.

Since they are quite rare to spot in the wild, I recommend visiting the Skullaryd Moose Park. Here, visitors can approach the shy animals and learn a lot about them. During the summer months of July and August, moose safaris are offered twice a day during feeding times. The generously sized tractor wagon can accommodate up to 200 visitors, but it doesn&#8217;t hinder the pleasant atmosphere. Outside of peak season, there is only one moose safari per day. During the low season or special group bookings, visitors can hop on the trailer of a quad and drive more swiftly into the moose enclosure.<\/p>\n<p>\n                <\/div>\n                                                <div class=\"dynamicContentTwoColumns dynamicContentTwoColumns__text\">\n                    <p><p>For chilly weather, blankets and seat cushions are provided. During the 45-minute moose safari, Erik \u00d6ster and his family provide information on the life and care of moose and deer. Guests are at a safe distance from the wild animals.<\/p>\n<p>\n                <\/div>\n                                                <div class=\"dynamicContentTwoColumns dynamicContentTwoColumns__text\">\n                    <p><p>Erik introduces the park, founded in 2014, and its concept even in German. The animals roam freely in spacious enclosures designed to resemble their natural habitat as closely as possible. In the caf\u00e9 connected to the park, you can enjoy coffee and cake &#8211; and plenty of moose antlers. Take a good look around, because you can truly appreciate the size of the antlers when you&#8217;re standing right in front of them. Can you lift one of them?<\/p>\n<p>\n                <\/div>\n                                                <div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n

exactly the sensation you can experience at Little Rock Lake Zipline! On Europe&#8217;s longest zipline course, even children from the age of 5 can soar over the beautiful landscape of Sm\u00e5land. For safety reasons, only children weighing over 35 kilograms are allowed to ride the zipline alone, but lighter children can still participate. They can go in tandem with a guide.<\/p>\n<p>\n                <\/div>\n                                                <div class=\"dynamicContentTwoColumns dynamicContentTwoColumns__text\">\n                    <p><p>You can book different tours with varying lengths. After a detailed safety briefing, there is practice on a training line. The tour guides are empathetic and calm. Not a single second will they take their eyes off you or let go of the safety harnesses.<\/p>\n<p>\n                <\/div>\n                                                <div class=\"dynamicContentTwoColumns dynamicContentTwoColumns__text\">\n                    <p><p>After an indescribably beautiful flight over clear lakes and expansive forests, I recommend visiting the caf\u00e9 or going for a hike in the scenic area. This way, you have enough time to gently come down from the adrenaline rush of ziplining. The base camp is located at one of the highest points in Kronoberg and offers truly spectacular views and beautiful hiking trails. From there, you can embark on small and big adventure tours, as overnight accommodations and barbecue areas are available for a mini-vacation. If you&#8217;d like, you can rent a canoe and paddle to the vast blueberry fields, or discover new smultronst\u00e4llen (Swedish: hidden gems).<\/p>\n<p>\n                <\/div>\n
