In recent years, Sm\u00e5land has also established itself as a hub for creativity and innovation.

Lake V\u00e4ttern catches my eye, the massive inland lake\u2019s glittering reflection follows me as I leave J\u00f6nk\u00f6ping. This scenic stretch of highway is one of the most magnificent in Sweden. The sky is blue, and the water is clear today. The large sun softens the picturesque landscape, giving it an air of effervescence with its deep greenery and summer colours. I pass the city limits and soon find myself in the deepest parts of the John-Bauer forest, in a little village called Bunn. From here, I take the winding gravel roads through beautiful rolling hills, complete with scattered red cottages, glittering lakes, and elegant birch trees. Lilacs cluster along the roadside. This is exactly what Sm\u00e5land looks like in the brochures for tourists. But it\u2019s also exactly what it looks like in the memories I collected during my childhood. <\/p>\n<p>\n                <\/div>\n                                                <div

Outside Huskvarna, I cycle past apple groves that seem to melt into rolling greenery, the landscapes reminiscent of Tuscany. I visit farmers who cultivate the land\u2019s endless treasures. Some of these farmers are almost entirely self-sufficient \u2013 an achievement in today\u2019s modern world. While the past feels intact here, there are also many glimpses into the future. One of the country\u2019s best hotel destinations is in V\u00e4xj\u00f6. Not far from there, straight into the wilderness, I\u2019m blown away by Europe\u2019s longest zipline, which zips over trees and streams at incredibly fast speeds.

We\u2019re on a path that forms part of the famous V\u00e4tternrundan &#8211; the world\u2019s largest recreational bike ride. Elna has, of course, participated in it before. She\u2019s an elite cyclist who rides road bikes but prefers mountain biking. Today, she brought her daughter Lovis along in a child seat. It\u2019s obvious that Lovis is used to this, as she obviously enjoys the speed and slopes. We see Lake V\u00e4ttern and Lake Landsj\u00f6n, as we roll through villages and past horse stables, greeting locals along the way. We continue along magnificent rolling hills, smattered with apple groves, all the way to Vista Kulle where we find ever better views.<\/p>\n                <button type=\"button\" class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__readMoreLess\">\n                    Read less &#8211;                <\/button>\n            <\/div>\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=\"Visit their website (in Swedish)\" class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/cykellycka.se\/\" style=\"background-color: #f4f2eb; color: #000000;border: solid 1px #f4f2eb\">\n                        Visit their website (in Swedish)                    <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__imageWrapper\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"740\" src=\"https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/smaland_jonashenningsson-100-av-2-1024x740.jpg\" class=\"attachment-grid-card-images size-grid-card-images\" alt=\"\" \/>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__wrapper\" style=\"background-color: \">\n    <div class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__container \">\n        <div class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__contentWrapper\">\n            <h2 class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__heading\" style=\"color: \">\n                Rudenstams G\u00e5rdsbutik &#8211; Crisp and Crunchy!            <\/h2>\n            <div class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__text contentImageTwoColumns__text--short\" style=\"color: \">\n                                    <p>On the steep, sunburned slopes down towards Lake V\u00e4ttern, Rudenstams Farm Shop and Cafe is nestled amongst the green rows of apple trees.

We can see grapevines from the tractor and wagon we ride through the estate, guided by third-generation apple farmer David Rudenstam. David explains that his grandfather started growing apples in the 40s, inspired by his travels in the United States. He noted that the Americans were producing lots of fruit in conditions just like those in Sk\u00e4rstadalen. Upon his return, he convinced the other farmers in the area to start growing apples \u2013 if they can in America, so can we! Along the way, his business expanded. Today, they also produce wine (including the Solaris grape) and have a production factory that creates an exciting range of products, including cider and a Swedish soft drink known as \u2018must\u2019. Children love the tractor tour and the Swedish fika in the cafe which, of course, comes with apple pie.<\/p>\n                <button type=\"button\" class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__readMoreLess\">\n                    Read less &#8211;                <\/button>\n            <\/div>\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=\"Visit their website (in Swedish)\" class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/rudenstam.se\/\" style=\"background-color: #fbbd51; color: ;border: solid 1px #fbbd51\">\n                        Visit their website (in Swedish)                    <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__imageWrapper\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"740\" src=\"https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Rudenstam_13_1080x1920-1024x740.jpg\" class=\"attachment-grid-card-images size-grid-card-images\" alt=\"\" \/>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n    <div class=\"quoteBlock quoteBlock__wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"quoteBlock quoteBlock__container\">\n            <h3 class=\"quoteBlock quoteBlock__quote\">\n                &#8220;Rudenstams, Rudu G\u00e5rd to Vandalorum, V\u00e4rnamo &#8211; 84 kilometres&#8221;\n            <\/h3>\n            <hr>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__wrapper\" style=\"background-color: #374632\">\n    <div class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__container layout-reversed\">\n        <div class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__contentWrapper\">\n            <h2 class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__heading\" style=\"color: #fff\">\n                Design Dreams at Vandalorum            <\/h2>\n            <div class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__text contentImageTwoColumns__text--short\" style=\"color: #fff\">\n                                    <p>Vandalorum in V\u00e4rnamo is a must-see on any trip.

The feeling when I place my feet down safely on the next tower is indescribable! Wooohooo! The adrenalin rush and the smile that won\u2019t go away say it all. I follow my guides, Eric and Mohanah, for seven more rides. Some are really high, some take us to our next destination at speeds of 70km per hour. After every ride, my smile grows bigger. It\u2019s fun for the whole family, with different loops for different ages. And you\u2019ll find more here than ziplines. You can hike, discover the wilderness, enjoy the sauna and the magical views, go rockclimbing or camping in the forest, and you can eat the traditional potato pancake dish, raggmunk with Sm\u00e5land-style pork sausage. The area is thoughtfully-designed to be kind to the wilderness, which is amongst the most dense and mysterious in Sm\u00e5land.<\/p>\n                <button type=\"button\" class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__readMoreLess\">\n                    Read less &#8211;                <\/button>\n            <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n                <div class=\"wp-block-button arrow-white\">\n                    <a aria-label=\"Visit their website\" class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.swedenzipline.com\/en\" style=\"background-color: #374632; color: #ffffff;border: solid 1px #374632\">\n                        Visit their website                    <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__imageWrapper\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"740\" src=\"https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Zipline-Alex-1024x740.jpg\" class=\"attachment-grid-card-images size-grid-card-images\" alt=\"\" \/>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n    <div class=\"quoteBlock quoteBlock__wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"quoteBlock quoteBlock__container\">\n            <h3 class=\"quoteBlock quoteBlock__quote\">\n                &#8220;Little Rock Lake to \u00d6sj\u00f6bol &#8211; 8.6 kilometres&#8221;\n            <\/h3>\n            <hr>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__wrapper\" style=\"background-color: #374632\">\n    <div class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__container layout-reversed\">\n        <div class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__contentWrapper\">\n            <h2 class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__heading\" style=\"color: #fff\">\n                Art and Culture: The Affable Persson            <\/h2>\n            <div class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__text contentImageTwoColumns__text--short\" style=\"color: #fff\">\n                                    <p>The village \u00d6sj\u00f6bol is certainly not big.

Together with Elin, they form Persson &amp; Persson. The pair have four small children and an incredibly charming home in the heart of Sm\u00e5land. Morgan grew up on the western coast in Varberg. The word is that he was once a talented volleyball player in Hylte. But when he focused his attention on glassblowing in Orrefors, his life took him in a different direction. Elin and Morgan met in the Kingdom of Crystal, and they eventually found themselves with their own glassworks in \u00d6sj\u00f6bol. They transform bottles and cans into new objects by heating them up. While the objects themselves are new, they still carry traces of what they once were. Much like the artist in the Hylte jumper standing in front of me. We sit in what was the village\u2019s local store, where the merchant counter is still intact, as is the country ambiance. There\u2019s an on-site cafe. So, between coffee sips, we speak philosophically and personally about life, before I continue on.<\/p>\n                <button type=\"button\" class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__readMoreLess\">\n                    Read less &#8211;                <\/button>\n            <\/div>\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=\"Visit their website\" class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/glasriket.se\/resa\/persson-persson\/\" style=\"background-color: #f4f2eb; color: #000000;border: solid 1px #f4f2eb\">\n                        Visit their website                    <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__imageWrapper\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"740\" src=\"https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/alex2925-1024x740.jpg\" class=\"attachment-grid-card-images size-grid-card-images\" alt=\"\" \/>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n    <div class=\"quoteBlock quoteBlock__wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"quoteBlock quoteBlock__container\">\n            <h3 class=\"quoteBlock quoteBlock__quote\">\n                &#8220;\u00d6sbj\u00f6bol to M\u00e5ler\u00e5s &#8211; 53 kilometres&#8221;\n            <\/h3>\n            <hr>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__wrapper\" style=\"background-color: #f4f2eb\">\n    <div class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__container layout-reversed\">\n        <div class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__contentWrapper\">\n            <h2 class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__heading\" style=\"color: \">\n                An Intimate Glassworks            <\/h2>\n            <div class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__text contentImageTwoColumns__text--short\" style=\"color: \">\n                                    <p>M\u00e5ler\u00e5s has been one of the most well-known glassworks since it opened in 1890 in a village with the same name.

Outside, there\u2019s an old stream train as well as the Children\u2019s Kingdom of Crystal, where they can play on a climbing frame or discover the mini glassworks. For those who are a little older, there\u2019s an interactive app you can download that follows Ebba and Ture on an adventure through the glassworks at the turn of the century. Maybe they\u2019ll want to explore Trollstigen too \u2013 a path through the woods where kids can go troll spotting. Big kids and the little ones alike love trying glass blowing for themselves. And you can attend \u2018herring-evenings\u2019, where you travel back in time to when the glassworks was the village\u2019s social centre.

The estate belonged to Hermina von Krusenstierna in 1874, and she filled it with heirlooms. Many of these were inherited from her grandfather, Colonel Mauritz Salomon von Krusenstierna, who collected them during his travels around the world. Back then, they lived off the land, raising their own animals and growing their own crops. Today, it\u2019s one of Kalmar\u2019s finest retreats. Don\u2019t miss the museum! It has been preserved to show exactly what it was like when Hermina lived here. And be sure to check out the summer theatre too \u2013 it&#8217;s immensely popular.<\/p>\n                <button type=\"button\" class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__readMoreLess\">\n                    Read less &#8211;                <\/button>\n            <\/div>\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=\"Visit their website (in Swedish)\" class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kalmar.se\/krusenstiernska\" style=\"background-color: #f4f2eb; color: #000000;border: solid 1px #f4f2eb\">\n                        Visit their website (in Swedish)                    <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__imageWrapper\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"740\" src=\"https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/krusentiernska-1024x740.jpg\" class=\"attachment-grid-card-images size-grid-card-images\" alt=\"\" \/>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__wrapper\" style=\"background-color: \">\n    <div class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__container \">\n        <div class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__contentWrapper\">\n            <h2 class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__heading\" style=\"color: \">\n                Explore The Kalmar Castle            <\/h2>\n            <div class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__text contentImageTwoColumns__text--short\" style=\"color: \">\n                                    <p>Kalmar is one of the most interesting historical cities in Sweden, with cramped houses still standing in the Old Town and in Kvarnholmen \u2013 which is where the city centre was relocated to in the 17t&#8230;                    <button type=\"button\" class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__readMoreLess\">\n                        Read more +                    <\/button>\n                            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__text contentImageTwoColumns__text--full\" style=\"color: \">\n                <p>Kalmar is one of the most interesting historical cities in Sweden, with cramped houses still standing in the Old Town and in Kvarnholmen \u2013 which is where the city centre was relocated to in the 17th century.

Kalmar Castle has both permanent and temporary exhibitions, so you should check the site for information about what\u2019s on.<\/p>\n                <button type=\"button\" class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__readMoreLess\">\n                    Read less &#8211;                <\/button>\n            <\/div>\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=\"Visit their website\" class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kalmarslott.se\/english\" style=\"background-color: #fbbd51; color: ;border: solid 1px #fbbd51\">\n                        Visit their website                    <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__imageWrapper\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"740\" src=\"https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/alexander_hall_7877_edit-1024x740.jpg\" class=\"attachment-grid-card-images size-grid-card-images\" alt=\"\" \/>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__wrapper\" style=\"background-color: #f4f2eb\">\n    <div class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__container layout-reversed\">\n        <div class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__contentWrapper\">\n            <h2 class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__heading\" style=\"color: \">\n                Eat and Drink: Postgatan            <\/h2>\n            <div class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__text contentImageTwoColumns__text--short\" style=\"color: \">\n                                    <p>The lovely Postgatan is a new addition to Kalmar\u2019s burgeoning culinary map.

With decor featuring embroidery spelling out \u2018Sm\u00e5land\u2019, it\u2019s impossible to forget where you are. The menu is fun and fresh, featuring Smapas \u2013 Sm\u00e5land&#8217;s tapas. Regulars come in for the raw beef platter time and time again. I order a plate of Smapas with a wonderful spring onion soup, baked prime eggs from Botul\u2019s happy hens, crispy chicken skins, and buttery chicken mousselin\u00e9. The albarino wine matches perfectly. It continues this way. The food and the wine in symbiosis. It\u2019s lovely here &#8211; I\u2019m pleased to say the word on the grapevine was absolutely right! I also visited Postgatan\u2019s sister location, Kallsk\u00e4nken across the street. Kallsk\u00e4nken offers a relaxed atmosphere, with a pizza oven and craft beer from \u00c4ng\u00f6l Brewery \u2013 which is a stone\u2019s throw from here.<\/p>\n                <button type=\"button\" class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__readMoreLess\">\n                    Read less &#8211;                <\/button>\n            <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n                <div class=\"wp-block-button arrow-white\">\n                    <a aria-label=\"Visit their website (in Swedish)\" class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/postgatan.nu\/\" style=\"background-color: #374632; color: #ffffff;border: solid 1px #374632\">\n                        Visit their website (in Swedish)                    <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__imageWrapper\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"740\" src=\"https:\/\/www.visitsmaland.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Postgatan8-1024x740.jpg\" class=\"attachment-grid-card-images size-grid-card-images\" alt=\"\" \/>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__wrapper\" style=\"background-color: \">\n    <div class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__container \">\n        <div class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__contentWrapper\">\n            <h2 class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__heading\" style=\"color: \">\n                Accommodation: Hotel Packhuset            <\/h2>\n            <div class=\"contentImageTwoColumns contentImageTwoColumns__text contentImageTwoColumns__text--short\" style=\"color: \">\n                                    <p>Centrally-located and incredibly cosy, Hotel Packhuset is located right down by the water.
