Tips from the Community
The craft village of Korrö has a rich history that stretches back a long way. It seemed sensible to build along the Ronneby River and harness the water power to fuel the trades. One of the main roads also crossed the river at Korrö, making the place very significant for many people. "Corro quarn" (the mill) can be found in records dating back to the 16th century. Towards the end of the 19th century, Korrö flourished with a tannery, dyeworks, sawmill, brewery, mill, health facility, trading stalls, and much more. Here, the river splits, forming an island connected by two old stone bridges. In 1948, Korrö's craft history came to an end. Then the last trades ceased. But in the old mill, sawmill, and dyeworks, you can still see how work was done in bygone times. In the mid-20th century, Korrö gained new importance and became a popular destination for Swedish and foreign visitors. Korrö has had hostels since 1950, and the new restaurant was built in 2007. Today, there are 22 buildings, four of which are used as hotels and hostels. The Korrö Nature Reserve was established in the early 1970s and is now enjoyed by visitors from near and far. In the handicraft village of Korrö, you can wander freely—look inside the old and new buildings and relax in the atmospheric atmosphere. Guided tours are available for groups.

Korrö is a small farm that originally had a lot of handicrafts. There are no more active ones today. The sawmill can still be visited and there are various handicraft shops, a café (the waffles are great) and a restaurant (it's better to reserve a table)

Korrö is a small farm with old Swedish buildings. There used to be a lot of handicrafts here. Unfortunately, there is currently no active craft left. But there is a restaurant (better book a table in advance), a café (the waffles are great) and several small art shops. Parking is available and there is a super small hiking trail (about 3km) on the Ronnebyan River.
