Welcome to the tranquillity of Sjöhagens Glamping, right beside the crystal-clear waters of Lake Vättern! From Gränna you go 10 minutes north along the tourist road with miles of views of Lake Vättern, where you will find Sjöhagen and nature that almost resembles a rainforest without being far from civilization. A few meters down from the glamping tent there is Vättern that is illuminated by the sun in its special way.
