NORTHERN SMÅLAND
AGENT MANUAL
Let’s get together and
open up Småland.
Our sharpest tool to attract travelers and travel agents is our website
– visitsmaland.se – where you as tour operator are welcome to appear
for your customers to see that you are in the right place, are curious
and have experience that they may not have. Contact Smålands Turism
to gain access to our various tools.
The idea, of course, is to package Småland in such a handy, attractive
format that more and more travelers will want to discover it. We do
that work together. Thank you for your interest and involvement.

Go for it – by air!
Of course we have our own regional airport – Jönköping Airport – with
both domestic and international connections, both scheduled and charter.
A regular route to Frankfurt opened in 2015 with two daily departures.
We’ve had a 10-week long charter window between Düsseldorf and
Jönköping Airport each summer for many years. A stopover enables us to
reach a large part of Europe’s travelers.
Car rental firms are standing by at the airport, but it is also easily accessible
by bus or train. Or why not just come in by foot with your hiking boots
on? Dumme Mosse nature reserve is located right next to the airport and
offers a mythical trip down to Jönköping. Adventure is always close at hand
in Northern Småland, no matter how you choose to travel.

A NATURAL OFFER YOU CAN’ T REFUSE
Our region in northern Småland is endowed with
everything a tour operator could wish for. You could
say it’s a package tour that nature created on its
own. Features include one of Europe’s largest lakes,
a beautiful island and rolling countryside packed
with goodies from history – castles, ruins, churches,
legends and archeological sites. Add the white striped
“Polkagrisen” candy that was twirled here for the first
time in 1859, and you’ll have all the ingredients for a
successful overall concept.

Småland is one of Sweden’s most moose-dense regions,
both in terms of moose enclosures and the number of
moose in the forest. Almost 30,000 moose are moving
around in Småland. A safe and exciting way to get close
to them is to visit a moose park.

Bo i Småland /
Ferienhauser in Schweden
Björkhaga has welcomed guests since the early 1900s.
Guests come here to rest in the fresh air and, especially,
to enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings, the paths
and the trails.
Björkhaga Hotel and Conference is a modern hotel
with 28 rooms of various sizes and spacious conference
rooms. It contains every amenity and convenience to
satisfy today’s guests at work and at play. At Björkhaga,
we want our guests to feel well taken care of and to
enjoy delicious, well-designed and carefully prepared
food of the highest quality, in a personal and inspiring
environment. A good night’s sleep after an evening’s
dip in the outdoor pool does wonders for body and
soul. If it’s challenging activities that are desired, we
have something for everyone. Horse-riding, canoeing
or rock-climbing. Bike-riding or hiking – or golf at the
Ryfors Golf Club, Sweden’s first private golf course, or
at the Sand Golf Club, an international-level golf course.
For the more culturally minded, a visit to Ryfors
Ironworks or Habo Church is not to be missed. These
cultural sites are utterly unique.
We look forward to welcoming you at Björkhaga Hotel
and Conference in Mullsjö.

modern house.
To ensure that you can feel secure about your choice of
holiday accommodations, we inspect all cabins before

The resort in Hok-Yxenhaga combines the enjoyment
of unspoilt landscapes with sporting activities. Whether
you are looking for peace and relaxation or prefer to
recharge your batteries – this is the right place for you.
The 77 bungalows of classic Swedish design are located
directly by the banks of the Härån river and are the
ideal starting point for experiencing wild nature. In the
typically Falun-red Swedish houses with their idyllic
terraces, you will feel at home straight away. All bungalows are furnished with birch wood furniture in the
Scandinavian style and designed in magnificent colours
– comfort and cosiness are guaranteed.
Here, the adventures and stories of Michel from
Lönneberga, the character from the books of Astrid
Lindgren, come alive. Large meadows with traditional
wooden fences, deep-green forests and glistening lakes
as far as the eye can see. Watch, experience and marvel
– dreams come true for nature lovers in Sweden. Glide
over lakes and rivers by canoe or kayak, fish from a
boat or the river bank and enjoy the catch at a barbecue with family and friends. On extended hikes, with a
little luck you may see elks and beavers.

the small red timber houses and the stately turn-of-thecentury wooden mansions.
The hospitality and friendly staff make you feel at
home and at ease right from the start. The guest rooms
are located in different buildings, each with its own
terrace or balcony with a beautiful view.
The picturesque natural surroundings inspire long
walks, canoe trips, bicycle rides, skiing at the Isaberg
ski resort or a dip in the outdoor pool when the
weather permits.
The heart of Hestraviken is its kitchen – in which delicious meals are prepared and presented to the highest
standard. A blend of traditional Swedish standards and
Mediterranean-inspired cuisine.

Panning for gold – for real.
Feel the gold fever creep up on you as you pan for your
own grains of gold in Ädelfors. The Guldström family
are Sweden’s most experienced gold miners. For over
45 years they have been teaching the art of panning
for gold.
Gold was found as early as 1737 at the village of Ädelfors, also the site of Sweden’s first gold mine.
meadowland and mixed forest. The only things that
can disturb the calm are the birds singing, the lapping
of the waves against the riverbanks and the whistling
of the summer breeze through the trees. The panning
sites, the grill, the fire pits and the eating areas are
protected by sun and rain canopies.
The price of the ticket includes equipment, boots and
instructions from Sweden’s most experienced gold
miners. Our gold miners help you as much as you like,
and will happily share advice and tips, if you like.
The panning takes place at a quiet and picturesque
site on the beautiful Emån river, surrounded by

Habo Church acquired its current appearance in 1723,
but there have been churches on this site from the
1100s on.
Remaining in Habo even today there are still clear
traces of the class system that the church in earlier
times made use of: galleries for the wealthy and
benches for the lower classes.
The church is open year-round.
There are some wooden sculptures from the Middle

High Chaparral is an experience for all the senses, one
you will never forget. At High Chaparral you are transported to the Wild West – a period in world history

life adventure that comes alive again here. You will be
swept up in an adventure involving bandits and brave
cowboys, shows, exciting experiences, mischievous
pranks and educational activities.
At High Chaparral the entire family can experience
the real American Wild West as it once was in the

of the major characters who lived in the Wild West
– cowboys, bandits, sheriffs, Mexicans, Indians, and
High Chaparral’s own heroes Lucky Luke and Zorro.
The klutzy Dalton brothers are also sneaking around
somewhere on the premises, likely to be corralled by

Kleva Mine is by far the most beautiful visitor mine in
Sweden. The history of Kleva Mine started at the end
of the seventeenth century. First copper was extracted,
then nickel, until 1920.
Since 1991, Kleva Mine has been a tourist attraction
set up as a visitor mine, which is why the working
environment has been arranged so as to be as authentic
as possible. The mine is located in a beautiful Småland
forest area. From the top of the mountain, visitors can
enjoy a panorama view of the surrounding landscape.
You can discover the mine on your own with a map or
a guide book, or join a guided tour group. Activities
offered include mine tours, gold panning, climbing
wall and a treasure hunt.

No product has made Sweden and Jönköping so well
known around the world as the safety match. Its history is a drama with many players and ingredients.
In 1848 Johan and Carl Lundström built a match
factory on the shores of Lake Vättern. The Lundström
brothers were children of their time. They traveled
extensively in Europe and were impressed by the industries they saw there. That’s what they wanted to do in
their hometown of Jönköping!
Johan was an engineer and Carl was a businessman.
They were both strong-willed and highly ambitious.
Smoke from the steam engines and sulfur ovens soon
rose from the factory chimneys. They had laid the
52
foundation to a major industry. Small sticks in colorful
boxes would spread Jönköping’s name all over the world.
The Match Museum is housed in a wooden building
from 1848 that was the first match factory in Jönköping. Visitors see the machines and meet the people
who built up the match industry and developed it into
a global company, including matchstick worker Lena
Törnqvist – a woman whose fate was caught up in the
transition between the old and the new society. Lena
suffered from phosphorus necrosis, an occupational
disease that afflicts people who work with phosphorus.

Store Mosse is one of southern Sweden’s largest national parks and the largest raised bog south of Lapland.
The National Park occupies close to 8,000 hectares. It
includes a visitors’ center – “naturum” – which contains an exhibit and information about nature. Naturum
also serves as the reception for the Store Mosse youth
hostel. Naturum is a water hole for nature lovers, and
provides inspiration to visitors to get out and explore
the National Park, on their own or as part of a guided
group.
The park contains 40 km of hiking trails, of which
3 km are wheelchair-accessible. The National Park
is home to many species of animals an birds. Moose
and nesting cranes, for example, are plentiful. Several
bird-watching towers. The eagles feeding station during
winter can be observed live or at the web cam monitor
in naturum. Experience that unique wilderness
feeling out on the great open expanses. Berry- and
mushroom-picking are allowed. Free admittance to
naturum and to the National Park.
Naturum offers guided tours of its exhibit “14,000
years in 45 minutes,” for a fee, guided snowshoe excursions during the summer away from the hiking trails, as
well as adventure hikes and guided theme hikes.

in natural materials. Historic Carolean farm in the

Gunillaberg is a uniquely staged world created by an
equally unique artist who found here a place in which
to realize his dreams. Nature versus culture.
Playful, tasteful, esthetic and with artistic ambitions.
To visit Gunillaberg is to leave reality behind and enter

world of childhood dreams. A Buen Retiro – a “park of
pleasant retreat.”

Vandalorum is a museum for regional, national and international contemporary art and design. Vandalorum,
which opened its doors in 2011, was built according to
an original design by world-renowned Italian architect
Renzo Piano. Piano was inspired, partly by local
building traditions, but primarily by the monumental
red drying barn that once stood on the site.
Vandalorum has a total exhibition surface of 1100
square meters, distributed in three halls. Barn 1 houses
Vandalorum’s and current art and design exhibits. In
Barn 2, the Småland Art Archives mounts temporary
exhibits and shows its collections in the so-called
Studio Archives – a collection of about 1500 works of
art associated with Småland. The Galleria houses art
and design exhibits and can also be used for conferences
and other events.
The Syltan restaurant at Vandalorum is an attraction
in itself. The restaurant serves meals prepared from the
very best fresh ingredients. The Syltan also offers a large
assortment of pastries that make a fine accompaniment
to a cup of espresso.
Vandalorum’s design shop is full of good design at
“Småland-type” prices (in other words, extremely
reasonable!). Visitors to the design shop can find design
and art books, original prints, ecological children’s toys,
postcards, posters, souvenirs and design products by
some of the foremost Nordic designers.
Minimum number of people: 1
Maximum number of people: 12-30

Guided tours in German are arranged
during July and August on Fridays at
10 a.m.
A guided experience adapted to the preferences of the
group always enriches the stay in a particular place and
creates substantial added value.
After a lengthy bus or car trip, let a walk through the
city be your much-needed leg-stretcher and get to
know Jönköping at the same time. You can combine
your walking tour with a tour of the Match Museum
(Tändsticksmuseet). This showcases the cradle of the
world industry that developed in the mid-1800s based
on a 4-cm-long wooden pin.
Those who have chosen to stay overnight in Jönköping
might want to book an evening walk instead.
Your guide will show your our city and talk about
its interesting history, give you some key facts, and
regale you with tall tales and future visions alike. This
will make your overnight stay something beyond the
ordinary.
Also possibilities for tours with segways.
