Smaland Attractions

 
Småland, the region round Växjö, is notable among the provinces of Sweden for its numerous lakes. The uplands in the northern part of the region slope down towards the south and southwest and give way to a plain. Here begins the "endless forest" celebrated in so many Swedish songs. The landscape of Småland is patterned by the innumerable rocky hills, smoothed and rounded by Ice Age glaciers, interspersed with shallow lakes and peat-bogs.
