Östergötland County, Administrative county in southeastern Sweden
Östergötland County spans over 10,600 square kilometers between Stockholm and Malmö, featuring 9,000 islands along the Baltic Sea coastline.
Established in 1634, the county developed from an agricultural region into an industrial center, particularly through the construction of Göta Canal in 1832.
Local restaurants across the county prepare seasonal dishes using ingredients from regional farms, following centuries-old Swedish culinary traditions.
Regular train and bus connections link the main cities of Linköping and Norrköping with Stockholm, making the region easily accessible for visitors.
The Birgittaleden pilgrimage path extends 145 kilometers from Söderköping to Vadstena, passing through medieval villages and natural landscapes.
