Osby straddles the northern end of Lake Osbysjön in Skåne County, where its waterside position has shaped a compact town amid southern Sweden’s wooded interior. The lake belongs to the Helge å water system, which continues south through Skåne towards Hanö Bay. Osby developed around the Southern Main Line railway, part of the route between Malmö and Stockholm, and rail links remain important to the town. Industry is also central to its identity: BRIO was founded here in 1884 and became internationally known for wooden toys and play products. Water, forest and the Skåne–Småland borderland define the setting beyond the centre. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Skåne County.
