Strongest in the world?
When the ice sheet melted, some 10 000 years ago, it left behind large boulders, which sometimes landed on their pointed end on a flat rock. The are called rocking stones or logan stones and ar so finely balanced that even a light force can cause them to rock. One of the world's largest logan stones is just a short walk from here. It weighs as much as 470 horses or 3000 police officers!

Thrills and chills in the Mariannelund forest!
Take care not getting lost or falling into lake Åsjön and - above all - mind the steep edge at the top! Children should hold an adult's hand when you are getting close to the viewing point. From here you have a top view of the wide forests that people in Småland share with moose, deer, foxes, hares and spiders.

A Picnic in the Park
No risk of being chased up a tree - guaranted cow-free. Invite a friend on their birthday - or your best friends - to a picnic in the beautiful Herrgårdsparken (Manor Park) in Mariannelund. Play the part with straw hats and parasols while you take a turn on the white bridges over the ponds. Should you decide to climb a tree, it is not because you have to avoid any mad cows - but because you feel alive and like it!
