Every design for Gränna

On the eastern shore of Vättern lies Gränna, the town that smells of peppermint and where the red and white polkagris sticks have long been a hallmark. Straight out in the lake, Visingsö comes into view, and it is hard to think of the district without also thinking of Per Brahe the Younger, whose mark still remains in the town's history.

Grenna Museum carries the great inheritance of the balloonists, and in the Andrée museum the stories of those daring journeys live on. If you want to come closer to the old life of the district there is the Grännaberget open-air museum, and from heights such as Oscarshöjd and Björkmans kulle the view over the water opens up.

It is a place with roots deep in northern Småland, where history feels alive in every slope down to the harbour. For anyone with Gränna in the blood, the map of lanes and shoreline becomes a reminder of where they belong – a piece of the home district to carry wherever they go.
