Since we live on the west coast of Sweden, this is where we usually spend our weekends and holidays. The beauty just around the corner makes it hard to leave. But. We took a trip to the east coast for a change and completely fell in love with Öland. Swedens second biggest island, with top score of sun hours (this is important to every Swede...) and so much to do. We will definetely be back. Soon! ÖLAND: The variety of the landscape, the ocean, the farmland and of course the windmills, spread out just about everywhere. There is really something new to discover around every corner. We can especially recommend Capellagården, the school once founded by famous Swedish furniture designer Carl Malmsten. Lovely environement, beautiful gardens, inspiring in every way. And yes, they have a cafe. Check out their opening hours here: http://www.capellagarden.se/besok Ölands unique world heritage landscape called Alvaret, is another reason to visit. When travelling north on the island, suddenly the landscape changes and becomes something completely different. Wild, flat and with a vegetation all of its own. Amazing!  Photo: oland.com Another benefit of Öland, is that we have one of our facories there producing our trays and cuttingboards. With a location like that, we will most likely go visit more often!
