Emmaboda Municipality

Emmaboda is a municipality in Kalmar County that consists primarily of forested land interspersed with numerous small lakes. The landscape is shaped by dense woodland and water, creating a natural environment throughout the area.

The area developed from a small settlement called Gantesbo into a transport hub when Emmaboda railway station was established in 1874. The arrival of the railway brought growth and new opportunities to the region.

The Glass Factory museum displays Sweden's largest glass collection and reflects the heritage of former glassworks that shaped the region for generations. Visitors can experience how central glass production was to the area's identity and daily life.

The municipality sits at a central point roughly equidistant from three major cities, making it a good base for exploring the surrounding region. Visitors can easily move in multiple directions while experiencing the forested landscape.

Lake Törn stretches between Emmaboda and Vissefjärda with an unusually long shoreline that makes it appear much larger than its actual surface area. This distinctive shape is a surprising feature that catches many visitors' attention.
