Introducing Småland
The region of Småland is one of dense forests, glinting lakes and bare marshlands. Historically it served as buffer zone between the Swedes and Danes; the eastern and southern coasts in particular saw territorial tussles. Today it's better know for the Glasriket (Kingdom of Glass), a sparsely populated area in the central southeast, which is dotted with crystal workshops. Småland is broken up into smaller counties (läns) : Jönköpings in the northwest, Kronobergs in the southwest, and Kalmar in the east.
