Gränna

For you travelers... <3

A huge red and white candy stick welcomes travelers that enter the town of Gränna. Polkagrisar, sugared candy, is what this town is famous for.

Gränna is a quaint little town on the shore of Lake Vättern. The small main street is lined with shops that sell polkagrisar, or give demonstrations on how the sticky candy is made.

If sweets is not really your thing, Gränna also offers a beach and a harbor for water sports, rent a bicycle or hike up the Grännaberg (mountain) for a view across the lake.

Gränna is located roughly 20 miles north of Jönköping.

The small town in south sweden is known for producing peppermint candy which they seemed to take great pride in... Every other small shop down the road was a proper polka candy cookery were the candy was home made and had the heartwarming feeling like you were standing in someones kitchen.

"Getting to see the best bits of what felt like going back in time and leaving with a bag full of candy to last for the next 2 day drive was more than perfect for that sunny morning.." said a fashion blogger, Sandra. She's one of the luckiest person that went to Gränna because she can see the bakers make the candy sticks by hand!

What to buy: The famous candy sticks of Gränna is a must-buy! These original red and white-striped peppermint candy sticks now come in many different flavors, shapes and sizes. They even have a sugar-free one! :D
