Tourists attractions
Nature is close by here, but you also have civilization with lots of day trip destinations within easy reach. The village in which the house is located is an old typical Småland village with three villages next to each other which already in the 16th century were inhabited by simple working people who lived in and close to nature. The author Wilhelm Moberg is from the area and has written the book The Emigrants and got ideas for the book from here. It is a landscape mixed with very old natural environments, older Småland houses, lakes, small roads and hiking trails.
From the year 2024, there is a newly opened unmanned grocery store in Örsjö, 1 km from the house.
There are many different walking areas to walk and enjoy, with signs for historical information and even with overnight accommodation. The start of the hiking trail is about 300m from our house. Within walking / bicycling distance are the lakes Örsjön, Göl and Örsjösjön. They have nice swimming areas and grills with wood and seating, and around the lakes are nice nature trails with varied nature, for hiking, jogging and if you want to spend the night in a wind shelter. Both Örsjö pond and Lake Örsjösjön offer good fishing opportunities. There is a rowing boat with motor and other accessories for rent during the rental period. The boat is located at Örsjösjön's swimming area.
The local area attracts bicycling trips on the many small roads. In the largest village Norra Örsjö is the unusual hexagonal church, well worth a visit.
Nearby is also Glasrikets moose park (7 km) where you can go on moose safaris in a carriage or with your own car.
The villages Örsjö, Södra Örsjö are located between Emmaboda (15 km) and Nybro (15 km) which have various shops, restaurants and other services such as, Pharmacy, library, bowling, go-kart and indoor public pool.

Here you will find year-round activities with walk-friendly hiking trails, mountain bike trails, ski trails, downhill skiing, outdoor gym and barbeque areas. Since the house is located in the middle of Glasriket, it is only a stone's throw to the nearest glass artist. For those who want to take a day trip, there are many other sights / glassworks, which you can visit through a tour of just a few miles.
