Äppledalen

Småland's own Tuscany

Äppledalen, Småland's own Tuscany, offers magnificent views of Lake Landsjön and its larger neighbor Lake Vättern, lush plantations and a scenic atmosphere. Just north of Huskvarna, this rolling landscape spreads out, where lush apple groves and picturesque surroundings create a magical feeling. When the sun sets over Lake Landsjön and Lake Vättern, the sky is colored in warm tones, and the experience becomes almost unreal. With the scent of apples in the air and taste sensations that entice, Äppledalen is an idyllic excursion destination for all the senses.

Biosfärområde Östra Vätterbranterna

Along the eastern shores of lake Vättern, the small-scale meets the grand. In 2012, the UN agency UNESCO designated the Eastern Vättern Slope as a biosphere reserve. It is one of around 700 biosphere reserves in the world and one of seven in Sweden. Here, nature is both unique and dramatic, and humans take care of the biosphere so that all living things will be well in the future.
