Linnaeus statue

Linnaeus statue, Älmhult

Linneus birthplace

Linneus birthplace, Älmhult

 Sjalen Says:  Carl von Linné (Linneus in English) who categorised plants, was born in Råshult north of Älmhult. Today, the croft has been rebuilt after a fire but is standing almost in the same site, just a different angle. Outside, you will find a herb garden and beautiful meadows and... 

You can see forever...

You can see forever..., Älmhult

 Sjalen Says:  At least that's how it seems at Taxås Klint. Dramatic cliffs you don't want to fall down and this marvellous view of Lake Möckeln and miles and miles of forest (especially after the 8 January 2005 Great storm which means you now have views northwards too!). Excellent to take... 

"The mothership!"

"The mothership!", Älmhult

 Sjalen Says:  Yes, that's what an American tourist was once overheard saying to his friend in astonishment as he laid eyes upon the world's first IKEA. If you are an IKEA fan you can shop here and even stay in the IKEA hotel. Maybe you want to make a pilgrimage? Then go around the...

Nanys: The hub of Älmhult, Älmhult

 Sjalen Says:  I have actually never been here as we have enough partying going on in our cottage once we see each other again, but this is probably the main venue for weekend live music and a reasonable pint. Not that there is much competition. They are not always open so if you want to... 

Transportation  

Easy to reach

Easy to reach, Älmhult

 Sjalen Says:  Älmhult is on the main line Copenhagen/Malmö to Stockholm so it couldn't be easier to reach as long as you make sure the trains stop (see second picture of the long straight track for the high speed trains that do not). There are only a few high speed X2000 trains that stop... 

Shopping  

various: Bargains

various: Bargains, Älmhult

 Sjalen Says:  People from county Småland are known for being economical and being the home of IKEA, that's obviously your first port of coal, and here it has a "bargain basement" where things go for a pittance as long as you can get it home or need a spare leg to some sofa. But there is... 

Off The Beaten Path  

Höö Nature Reserve

Höö Nature Reserve, Älmhult

 Sjalen Says:  Drive to Diö, 10 km north of Älmhult and turn towards Höö where signposted. The small nature reserve consists of several small islands in Lake Möckeln but the biggest is Höö itself with living farm life. Nice and peaceful with grazing cattle and oldfashioned haymaking. Bring...

IKEA, Germans and flowers

Sjalen profile photo

 A municipality on its own, it is little enough for you to stop here for two reasons only; you are a German or Dane who rent a secluded cottage in the forest or go fishing on the lake OR you want to......
