Björsbo Forest and Lake Hideaways

Hiking and riding not enough activity for you? Head to Isaberg Mountain Resort, 25 minutes’ drive from Björsbo Forest and Lake Hideaways, for mountain biking, treetop adventuring, Segway off-roading, adventure golf, canoeing and kayaking. To add a treasure hunter vibe to your visit, see if you can find some of the geocaches squirreled away at the resort. For something requiring a little less energy use, get a feel for the history of this part of Sweden with stops at Gislaveds Industrimuseum, Big Bengt Museum and Hyltens Industrial Museum, all within 20 minutes of the site, then corral a few horses and ride over to the High Chaparral Wild-West themed park. Need something more high octane? Try to time your visit for a track day at the nearby Scandinavian Raceway. If you’re up for a longer jaunt, pile in the car and make the hour-long drive to Jönköping, a city on the shores of Lake Vättern, to poke around the Jönköpings läns museum, the Match Museum (the world’s only museum dedicated to matchsticks), the modern art museum and (one for petrolheads, perhaps) the Husqvarna factory museum.
