GRÄNNA – VISINGSÖ
2021 Highlights Sunset at Brahehus.
Gränna and Visingsö – the idyllic town and the island gem! On the south-eastern shore of Lake Vättern, the town of Gränna is a typical Swedish idyllic community, with beautiful old wooden houses, well-kept gardens, bauer forests, and cobbled streets. From the harbour, ferries depart frequently for Visingsö Island – the gem of Lake Vättern!
Every year, Gränna and Visingsö Island offer many wonderful events, everything from markets and art tours to concerts and jousting. 2020 was a strange year indeed, and 2021 is likely to be different as well, not least in terms of all the events, several of which have been postponed. Organisers are doing their best to come up with alternate solutions. For up-to-date information on all events, please visit Jkpg.com Scan the QR code to access the page:
Both Gränna and Visingsö offer beautiful views, castles, cobblestones, charming wooden houses, castle ruins, trails, and oak forests. And not least, a fascinating history. Wherever you set foot, you find yourself amidst history. You can come here to enjoy the tranquillity, nature, and atmosphere, but you can also choose from a wide selection of culture, activities, and adventures.
Nature experiences Beyond the peppermint candy shops and the cobblestone streets are bauer forests and magical trails. Scenic sites worthy of exploration. The gorgeous nature is rich in unique plant and animal species, several of which are rare or even endangered. There are plenty of hiking trails and charming country roads for cycling, both in Gränna and on Visingsö Island. The area between Huskvarna and Gränna, which happens to be the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Östra Vätterbranterna, is a paradise for cyclists, with its quiet country roads and winding gravel paths. The variety of routes makes it easy to find one that suits your level and ambition. If you prefer to put your hiking boots on and enjoy nature on foot, there are several trails to choose from. Hike near the idyllic summer village of Röttle, along the magical John Bauer Trail, or Klevens nature trail.

On Visingsö, you can opt for a somewhat different mode of transport and book the popular horse-drawn carriage known as “remmalag”. For more than 100 years, they have transported visitors around the beautiful island. The ride is at a leisurely pace, giving you plenty of time to enjoy both scents and nature. Start your day early with a walk along Lake Vättern, or maybe out on one of Gränna’s many lakes. Enjoy the crystal-clear water and the tranquillity. Take a guided boat tour on the beautiful lakes of Bunn and Ören, or rent a canoe or kayak and glide quietly across the glassy water.
