The Rumskulla oak, also known as the Kvill oak, is an oak tree near Norra Kvill National Park in Vimmerby. It is a fine example of one of Europe's oldest and largest trees with an estimated age of 850 to 1,000 years. Proudly surviving the ages, it is a rare and magnificent representative of Sweden's dwindling population of significant ancient trees, with a circumference measuring an impressive 13 meters.

Just 23 kilometres west of Vimmerby lies Katthult, known for being the setting of the beloved Emil films. Wander through cherry trees, lilac bushes, and iconic structures like the main house, barn, storeroom, servant's house, and more, all mirroring Astrid Lindgren's stories. Explore the woodshed, meet farm animals, and step into Katthultsboden, a shop offering souvenirs, ice cream, and drinks. The farm, except for the inhabited main house, is open for exploration, revealing a workshop, Alfred the Servant's house, the outhouse, and a spacious cellar.

The narrow, winding streets that tether the Citadel of Bonifacio together are a pleasing reminder of Medieval engineering and architecture that culminates in the surprisingly efficient and practical design of the fortress. At the entrance to the Genoese inspired walled town lies the imposing Bastion de l’Étendard, protruding from the cliff face to visibly demonstrate the military capabilities of the fortified stronghold which had in the past been the muster point for troops protecting the city. Scale the steep staircase from the Marina, cross the drawbridge of the Porte de Gênes and pass through the adjoining museum to get a sense of what life was like on the cliffs of Corsica hundreds of years ago.
