With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience everything that Oskarshamn, 35 miles away, has to offer. Village of Stensjo, Arena Oskarshamn and Doderhultar Museum alone make the drive out worthwhile. Locals will also likely point you toward Eksjo, 40 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, let it be Skurugata Nature Reserve. (But we’re also big fans of Eksjo Museum and Eksjo Church.)
