our tips
DISCOVER SMåLAND
Stina's Stuga is located in the historical province/landscape Småland. It's similar in size to Belgium. Keep this in mind while travelling around. Småland is 'as Swedish as it gets'. A visit to Småland takes you to a region of dense old-growth forests, sparkling lakes, red cottages and vibrant green meadows. It perfectly balances nature and culture, with over 5,000 lakes and rivers, 200 kilometres of coastline, 400 nature reserves and several interesting cities to explore.
