Cycling in the Kingdom of Glass
Getting around the Kingdom of Glass on a bike is a great nature experience.
One moment you find yourself in a mammoth spruce forest, and the next you are on a winding path through an open agricultural landscape. With a slower pace than travelling by car, it is easier to find unexpected gems, such as craft stalls, cafes and lakes to swim in.

KulTuren – The Culture Trip
“KulTuren” is a 140 km trip with marked road signs that is made for those wanting to discover Småland nature, the Emigrant District, and the genuine glass kingdom. However, most of the time you will be on charming narrow winding paved roads.

Such as, traces of ice sheets and industrialization, as well as fairy tales, murders and trolls. Let yourself be soothed by the rustling sounds of the trees and the noise of the mills in this beautiful countryside.
