About Jönköping
Jönköping is a mid-sized town in the south of Sweden. It is beautifully placed directly at Vättern, Sweden’s second-largest lake, and tucked in between deep forests and hilly mountains. Home of the late artist John Bauer, famous for his fairytale motifs of forest trolls and fairy princesses, the city is a gateway into the mystics of the depth of Swedish nature.
As one of Sweden’s oldest cities (given city privileges in 1284), the area is filled with a rich history including the death of royalty, repeated battles with the invading Danish and innovative industries including the invention of the safety match; that baptised the city as the “Match Stick City” (tändsticksstaden). Still, in modern times, the local industry is working closely with the university on product development and industry innovations. Today, Jönköping is a fast-growing and modern city with plenty of culture, restaurants and activities for any preference.
Yet, the highlight of the city is the proximity to nature as Jönköping is one of Sweden’s most active outdoor towns with popular activities ranging from water sports to mountain biking to skiing. Each year it hosts a range of sports and culture events such as Jönköping Marathon, Triathlons and vintage car and bike shows. For those staying a bit longer, we recommend a trip to one of the nature reserves such as Dumme Mosse: one of the world’s most well-preserved swamp wilderness, or a trip down John Bauer Leden, a hiking trail that takes you up the Husqvarna hills and through the rich, mossy forests.
