The Svardsjo district is known for its beauty with deep forests,
billowing hills and many watercourses. Whatever road you travel
to Svardsjo you will se rivers and lakes almost all of the time.
One of Sweden´s most wellknown singer och composer,
Lasse Berghagen, has written about Svardsjo "this smiling landscape
with glittering water, the mountains and the purple forests. To this
place, to this beautiful part of our country, I come as often I can
to rest, get up my strength and breathe the fresh air, so full of
inspiration".
Two others, to whom Svardsjo has ment a lot - and who have ment a lot to Svardsjo - are the artists Arvid Backlund and Stig Borglind, who
both have shown the influence from the beautiful and multitudinous landscape in their paintings and sculptures.
In this wonderful nature you can celebrate midsummer, join different activities, go fishing, go canoing, ride, visit Nysjon´s
chalet, where they in summertime live as in old times making butter and cheeze from goats, sheep and
cows. You can visit old foundries and also Isala lada, and old barn where Gustaf Wasa, later
King Gustaf I, was saved by the farmer´s wife from being caught by the Danish king. Or you can
just enjoy yourself for being in such a wonderful place!
