Ydre Municipality, Rural municipality in Östergötland County, Sweden.
Ydre Municipality spans across 778 square kilometers of land, featuring dense pine forests, agricultural fields, and the expansive Lake Sommen within its boundaries.
The municipality emerged through a 1952 governmental reform that consolidated six separate administrative entities into one, taking its name from the ancient Ydre Hundred.
The region maintains connections to Swedish folklore through local stories about trolls and giants that opposed the spread of Christianity in medieval times.
Visitors require personal transportation to explore the municipality, as public transit options remain limited throughout the three main urban centers of Österbymo, Hestra, and Rydsnäs.
The Naturum Sommen center on Torpön Island functions as both a natural history museum and an educational facility, presenting information about local ecosystems.
