KOSTA - THE CRYSTAL-CLEAR CHOICE! We’re open 364 days a year! Deep in the forests of Småland, you’ll find the town of Kosta in the heart of the Kingdom of Crystal. They’ve been creating beautiful glass here since 1742 at the Kosta Glassworks, one of the oldest glassworks in Sweden. The idea for a glassworks was first raised back in 1736. Lieutenant Lars Johan Silfversparre applied for a royal decree for a glassworks in Johanstorp in the parish of Lenhovda but decided to hand over his royal decree to local governors Anders Koskull and Georg Bogislaus Staël von Holstein. Construction of the new glassworks, named Kosta after the first letters of the two owners’ surnames (KO + STA), began in 1741. Construction was finished in 1742 and the first glass blowers came fromThuringia in Germany. While not the biggest place, Kosta has plenty to see and experience - why not visit the Kosta Glassworks and get a close-up view of glass being shaped in the smeltery, try your hand at blowing glass in the Kosta Glass Centre, see world-class glass art in the Kosta Art Gallery, spend the night in the world’s only glass hotel, the Kosta Boda Art Hotel, or rent a cabin up at Kosta Lodge. Enjoy a drink in the Glass Bar in an underwater kingdom made of glass, somethin sweet from the bakery, a cool ice cream at Småland’s biggest ice cream café or one of Kosta’s local beers. Other options include fishing, taking a hike through our beautiful nature, going out mountain biking or watching all the animals roaming freely in their natural environment in the Kosta Safari Park. There’s something for everyone here! And you are warmly invited! 3

PEBAQUÉ ORREFORS PARK GUIDE BY LIGHT&BOLD KINGDOM OF CRYSTAL I Glasriket sträcker sig traditionen att tillverka munblåst glas flera hundra år tillbaka i tiden. Glasbruken ligger tätt och alla har de sin egen identitet. Slutet av 1800-talet var glasbrukens tid, hela 77 glasbruk etablerades i Sverige och fler än hälften av dem låg här i Småland. Förutsättningarna var de allra bästa: de stora, småländska skogarna bidrog med ved till glasugnarna, bottensanden från sjöarna förvandlades till glas och vattenkraften från bäckar och åar behövdes för att driva sliperierna. Dessutom fanns det gott om arbetskraft – både yrkesskickliga arbetare som blivit utan jobb efter att järnbruk lagts ned, och jordbrukets dags- verkare som inte hade jobb året runt. 1919 gjorde konstnären Simon Gate entré på Orrefors och blev pionjär inom glasformgivningen. Många anser att det är just samarbetet mellan glasformgivarna och de skickliga glasblåsarna och hantverkarna som står bakom de småländska glasbrukens framgångar. Som besökare är du välkommen in i hyttan för att på riktigt nära håll se mästarna forma den sirapslika glasmassan till imponerande glaspjäser. Ett fascinerande skådespel!

There’s loads to discover here. Everything from brilliant glass experiences to high-flying adventures above the treetops. Each workshop and glass smeltery has a shop, some big and some small, where you can buy unique glassware. Why not go on a classic glassworks tour that will take you from the smelteries to the workshops. There are loads more exciting things to see here too, like furniture, art and flea markets. The magical forest and the many lakes, streams and rivers are a cornerstone of the Kingdom of Crystal’s origins. Today, nature offers all sorts of opportunities for adventure and recreation. Hike a gentle path through the pine forestor take a boat out onto a lake and dip your paddle in the still, crystal-clear water. For those looking for an adrenaline rush, we also have Northern Europe’s longest zipline. So you can live out your VilhelmMoberg and James Bond fantasies. Visit one of our many glass museums and ironworks. Or why not try your hand at doing it yourself? You can blow glass at Kosta, Målerås or Orranäs. Another great experience is the famous hot shop herring, a real festive occasion in the hut that used to act as a meeting spot. 13
