‘Linnaeus Guesthouse’, in its own grounds of over 5000 m2, is
situated in the immediate vicinity of the forest. A stay at ‘Linnaeus
Guesthouse’ means staying in a place with a pleasant, Christian-oriented
family atmosphere. A full breakfast is included and is served at 9 o’ clock,
but can be served earlier on request. It is a place where you can unwind, have time for an interesting conversation in
the lounge or relax and enjoy nature on the terrace.
Prices:
It
is also possible to rent a spacious apartment for a longer stay, please ask for
information. About
the area Restaurant:
We
can recommend ‘All Hus’ restaurant for your lunch (€ 7.00 - € 10.00) or
evening meal. It is frequented by many locals, who often have lunch there, and
is at a mere 150 metres walking distance from ‘Linnaeus B&B Guesthouse’.
Sauna:
On
Fridays, from 5-7 pm, you can use the sauna for 10 Swedish crowns, which is
about € 1.10. Supermarket: There is a supermarket near a garage with a petrol station at a ten-minute walk away. Other shops can be found in Tingsryd. Tingsryd
is situated on a large lake and
has a regional function. It has a splendid indoor swimming pool and is renowned
for its racecourse and ice-hockey team. The vast 4-star camping site along the
lake is always fully occupied during the high season. Kosta glass:
The
region is famous for its glass and is has become known as ‘The Kingdom of
Crystal’. Artists have turned the old craft into real art. Kosta glass is very
famous indeed. There is an interesting glassworks route, see http://www.nyaglasshopen.se/. Cycling
through the serene woods, enjoying the intense peace of the tranquil lakes and
babbling brooks to Korrö is quite an experience. Korrö Village Museum, also
known as ‘Sweden in miniature’, is an extraordinary attraction with its red
timber houses with their typical white window and door frames. It is also a good
spot for hiring a canoe (€ 7.00 per hour). Elk:
The elk is Sweden’s national symbol, a number of them have to be shot to
prevent overpopulation. There is an elk park in Kosta where you can watch the
world’s largest deer in its natural environment from a close distance, see www.moosepark.net Nature-campsite:
There
is a nature-campsite in Dangebo, which is at half an hour walking distance.
People who like tranquillity can enjoy a swim in clean and very clear water in
unspoilt nature. A stay at this municipal camping site with simple, but clean,
sanitary facilities will cost you only € 7.00 per night for a caravan. It is a
rural and quiet place and ideal for painting. Fishing:
As
Konga is situated in an area that is scattered with lakes, it is a real
angler’s paradise where you can fish for salmon, pike, perch, eel, etc., see www.sportfiskecentrum.com
The fish smokehouse of South Småland - rökta, färska
och gravade fiskdelikatesser lax, gös, gädda, abborre och ål
(smoked,
fresh and marinated fish and delicacies) - is
well worth visiting, see http://www.come.to/urshult Växjö:
Shopping
in Växjö. Växjö is a bustling town with a wide range of nice shops and
trendy boutiques, just perfect for an afternoon shopping spree. Travelling
by car to Konga from the continent is easiest via Hamburg and then the
Puttgarden - Rodby ferry. Crossing by ferry takes about an hour and after a long
drive it is nice to be able to stretch your legs and have something to eat
and/or drink. From the ferry it is about 150 km to Copenhagen and the
magnificent Öresund Bridge linking Denmark and Sweden. When you have crossed
the bridge you travel from Malmö to Karlshamn and from there you travel along
the Växjö road till Tingsryd where you take the Emmaboda road. Drive along
that road until the junction at the petrol station/caravan dealer’s. Do not
turn off the road before the petrol station, even if your GPS directs you to do
so, for the shortcut is not accessible for cars anymore. Take the first road on
your right, then the first left and then you have arrived at your destination:
Linnaeus Guesthouse, Lövestigen 3, Konga. The distance between Tingsryd and
Konga is 10 km. By
Plane: Småland
Airport, which is only a few kilometers from Växjö, is the nearest airport. A
return flight from Düsseldorf/Weeze Airport (Germany) to Småland Airport is
surprisingly cheap. There is a bus service from Växjö to Tingsryd, where you
change buses to Konga. If required, we can also meet you at the airport. It is,
of course, also possible to hire a car via Internet. You can hire a car, from
€105.00, at Europcar or Hertz and it is sensible to book early. We bid
you a warm welcome and wish you a very pleasant stay at our guest house. Rensine
