Tucked between Lake Vättern and Lake Tåkern in western Östergötland, Skedet is a place whose character is shaped by open farmland and wooded slopes in this lake district. Omberg, a forested hill beside Vättern, rises nearby, while the shallower Tåkern is an important wetland for birdlife. The medieval ruins of Alvastra Abbey, founded in 1143 by Cistercian monks, add a historical dimension to the surrounding countryside.
