Tomtabacken, Summit in Småland province, Sweden

Tomtabacken is a summit in Småland province that rises approximately 377 meters above sea level and features a lookout tower at its peak. The tower provides panoramic views across the dense forests and rolling terrain of southern Sweden.

The Swedish military built the lookout tower on the summit in 1942; it was donated by the former Kalmar Air Wing (F12). The tower has since been renovated and opened to the public. The Höglandsleden trail now passes just beside it, and telecom companies have added radio link towers and mobile masts on the height.

The summit is the highest point in Småland and Götaland, and the lookout tower was donated by the former Kalmar Air Force Wing (F12) and built in 1942. The tower has been renovated and is open to the public, offering a view over the forested landscape. The Höglandsleden trail passes right by the tower, and the site is maintained by the association Tomtabackens Vänner.

Access is by road from Malmbäck, Sävsjö or Vrigstad, or on foot along the Höglandsleden trail, which passes right by the lookout tower. A parking area near the tower holds about five cars. The summit area is flat, and the tower, built in 1942, is open to the public.

The lookout tower was built in 1942 by the Swedish Armed Forces and donated by the Kalmar air flotilla (F12), now disbanded; it has since been renovated and opened to the public. Several radio relay towers and mobile masts also stand on the height.
