Activities: We took a boat trip to the island of Visingsö. It took about half an hour with a ferry from Gränna. We also took a horse-drawn carriage ride across the island. We visited the church and the castle ruin. We enjoyed a 'fika' at a café
Highlights: The trip was a real experience. After leaving the harbor, it became quiet. From the top of the church tower, we could overlook the whole island and a good part of the huge Lake Vättern. My kids loved the horse-drawn carriage ride ✨
