Vittsjön is a beautiful lake that's a hub of activity. From the hiking around its perimeter to water skiing, wakeboarding, canoeing and swiming, there's plenty to enjoy here. The 1612 Battle of Vittsjö took place here, which almost saw the newly crowned Swedish King Gustavus Adolphus drowned while on the run from Danish forces.

The church was built in 1962-66, designed and constructed by Sigurd Lewerentz. The church is one of Sweden's most architecturally perfect churches and has received international attention. This is all you never expected from a church. But all you ever wanted.

A simple forest shelter with a water pump nearby. A convenient spot to rest and refill water, but remember to boil or filter the water first!

Klippan's identity is deeply connected to the Klippan paper mill, which was founded in 1573 and is one of the world's oldest. The town grew around this industry, and its name, meaning "the cliff," comes from a rock formation along the Rönne River. Today, it remains an industrial town with a rich heritage in paper production.
