"On the Road in Småland" is a high-quality hiking guide for the region where Astrid Lindgren found inspiration for her books. The richly illustrated book takes you to typical Småland landscapes and exciting places such as refuge castles and caves.
The hikes are within a maximum one-hour drive of Vimmerby. Of course, there's also a separate chapter on Djursdala, whose cherry trees inspired the Cherry Tree Valley in Brothers Lionheart!

From mysterious forests to seaside cliffs, from dark caves to lovely cultural landscapes, this handy hiking guide will help you discover the tranquility and beauty of Småland.

All hikes are described in detail, both "traditional" and with GPS coordinates. The difficulty level for each hike is indicated, ranging from very easy to very difficult.

Some pages contain recipes for outdoor cooking and outdoor games for children. Each hike also explains what makes it particularly interesting for children—after all, we're following in Astrid Lindgren's footsteps.

The hiking guide features a sturdy, laminated cover and laminated pages. The handy format fits comfortably in the map pockets of hiking pants. The special Flexibound binding is exceptionally durable and allows pages to be opened wide without the book closing on its own.

The ideal book for outdoors and on the go!
