On Sunday we packed the car and left around midday. Our goal was to drive for about 3-4 hours and then find a nice place to put our tent up. I really wanted to take G to Gränna.

Gränna is known for it’s red and white polkagris (literally “polka pig” in Swedish) stick candy, also known as peppermint rock. This was first made by the widow Amalia Eriksson in 1859.^[2] A statue of Amalia can now be seen in the park at the foot of Gränna mountain. The town is popular with tourists and is a connection point for the ferry service to the island Visingsö.

When you visit Gränna you can be lucky to experience the making of the polkagris. They have a room with windows where you can stand and watch the whole process. It’s a great experience and I can promise you that you will be impressed by the technics that they use while making the polkagris.

They make a lot of different flavours and all of them are very unique.

After Gränna we decided to find a place to to eat so we drove to Gränna centrum for a kebab pizza that we ate down the harbour.
We went for a little walk and then we went to a place outside Odeshog that we found on a Swedish camping app. This place was great for camping even though it was very windy when we arrived.

I highly recommend everyone to visit Gränna if you want to experience something very Swedish. 

Thanks for checking in, I Love You All
