Småland Miniglamping

That swimming lake looking a tad chilly for your sensibilities? Gullringen’s got an indoor swimming pool for a few warmer lengths. If you’d rather stay out in the fresh air, venture down to Vimmerby (20 minutes’ drive) for a game of golf, a canoe trip or an outing on horseback. There’s also an adventure park just outside the town (10 minutes), with high and low rope courses, plus Scandinavia’s longest zipline for the true daredevils. Feet planted firmly back at ground level, take a wildlife-spotting ride through the eight hectares of Virum Moose Park (45 minutes), or mount a special four-wheeler to pedal your way along the old railway track from Hultsfred (half an hour). There’s also a newer railway track here, where you can board train rides for an easier way to see the scenery. The fab Astrid Lindgren’s World theme park (20 minutes) is a must-visit for folk bringing the small sorts on hols – it’s packed with fairytale-style scenery to wander around, colourful characters to meet and a busy schedule of interactive shows and stories.
