Overview:
Jonkoping, Sweden - In
Jonkoping one can experience the deep forests of Smaland, lovely
city parks and the three lakes Vattern, Rocksjon and Munksjon,
all in one day.
Jonkoping is seven hundred years old, and for a
long time it was right on the border to Denmark. It was a
natural thoroughfare when traveling north, and traces after
dwelling places from the stone age has been found here.
Surely there are more to be found here from
further back in history, but most of it is buried below the
water surface of Vattern, since the water level has risen, and
still is rising, some 15 centimeters per hundred years. This
means that Jonkoping is disappearing more and more, but it is
hardly noticable. Today it is only noticed when Vattern
overflows.
