Norra Kvills Nationalpark
- Norra Kvill is one of Smland's four national parks. It is made up of genuine Smland primaeval woodland.
- Some of the pines are 350 years old, and the forest hasn't been cleared in 150 years.
- Here you will find fallen trees, massive moss-covered stone slabs, and enchanting forest lakes.
- A trek to the national park's highest peak rewards hikers with a spectacular panorama.
- In southern Sweden, virgin forests are pretty rare. It's fantastic that the first section of the national park was established in 1927.
- It was 27 hectares in size at the time. Later, the space was enlarged, and it now encompasses 114 hectares. Nature is free to evolve into a primitive forest here.
Katthult-Hof (Michel aus Lönneberga)
- The original turntable for the renowned "Michel from Lönneberga" movies is the Katthult Hof.
- It is open to the public, except for the main home, still occupied.
- Of course, there is a modest souvenir shop with a variety of goods and catering possibilities.
- The highlight is "Michel's woodshed," where he has carved countless males out of wood if he had hired someone again.
