Vätterstranden
A long sandy lakeside beach north of the city centre, where Jönköping residents swim, picnic and watch the sunset in summer.
The Vättern shoreline stretches from the east side of the city centre toward Huskvarna. Along it are several kilometres of sandy beach, lawns and footpaths, and in summer there are lifeguard stations and snack kiosks. Lake Vättern’s water is clear and cold, and even at the height of summer it only reaches about 10–15°C. You can walk from the railway station to the western end of the beach in about 10 minutes, or cycle the lakeside route to Huskvarna, about 8 km away. The sunset over the lake in the evening is especially beautiful.
