Norrby is a dream for all children. Here there is
everything a small human being can ever need, forest, fields,
flowers, baths, cats and lambkins. The forest and agriculture
is run ecologically and we are well protected from motor traffic
and pollution. In the villages nearby there are swimming schools
as well as horseback riding facilities.
If you want to do excursions there are plenty of
places to visit. Here we present some suggestions that our family
has enjoyed:
The world of Astrid Lindgren is situated
in Vimmerby, not far away from Lönneberga and Mariannelund.
A world of fairytales with Emil, Pippi, Karlsson and all the other
familiar characters.
