A Little Love for Småland

Some places are destinations for a holiday. Others are places that slowly find their way into your heart. For us, Småland is one of those places.

The endless forests, quiet country roads, traditional red wooden houses and lakes hidden among the trees. Life seems to move at a slightly slower pace here. There is room to explore, discover new places or simply do nothing at all.

Småland has something special in every season. Long summer days perfect for walking and cycling, colourful autumn forests, peaceful winter landscapes and the fresh green of spring.

If you are not yet familiar with Småland, there is plenty of inspiration to help you discover this beautiful part of Sweden. A lovely place to start is Småland Liebe, a website full of inspiration for anyone who wants to explore Småland. Not only about the beautifull nature from Småland but also nice tips for restaurants and art en culture in Småland.

Discover Småland from Ljusgården

There is so much to discover in the surroundings of Ljusgården. Walk through the forests of Norra Kvill, follow quiet gravel roads past lakes and little villages, or visit Vimmerby, the town forever connected with the stories of Astrid Lindgren.

But perhaps the most beautiful thing about Småland is that you don’t always have to do something.

A cup of coffee by the wood-burning stove, a walk through the forest, an evening around the fire or simply enjoying the peace and quiet.

That is exactly what we want to share at Ljusgården.

A place to slow down, discover Småland and perhaps fall a little in love with this special part of Sweden yourself.
