Rebbegarden: Tpl Hagbylund

Kalmar County stretches from the Småland highlands to the Baltic Sea, encompassing a wooded mainland and the limestone island of Öland. The coast is broken by bays and islands, while the Kalmar Sound separates Öland from the Swedish mainland. Around Oskarshamn, on the county’s central coast, ferries link the shore with Gotland. In the city of Kalmar, Kalmar Castle recalls the medieval town’s role in Scandinavian politics; the Kalmar Union was agreed there in 1397. Öland’s open limestone plain, Stora Alvaret, forms part of the UNESCO-listed Agricultural Landscape of Southern Öland, in clear contrast to the inland forests and farmland.
