Oxhagahallarna Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful view over the lake. Even more impressive from the tower, but the tower is currently closed due to a hornet's nest.

There is also a barbecue area.

Jetty on Lake Södra Bergundasjön

Highlight • Lake

Södra Bergundasjön or Södresjö is a lake in the municipality of Växjö in Småland and belongs to the main catchment area of Mörrumsån. The lake is 5.4 meters deep, has an area of 4.32 square kilometers and is 160 meters above sea level. The lake is drained by the Bergunda Canal waterway. Large numbers of fish species were caught during the experimental fishery, including perch, birch, bream and gers.

Södra Bergundasjön is part of the sub-catchment area (630276-143765) that SMHI calls the Södresjö Estuary. The average altitude is 169 meters above sea level and the area is 21.18 square kilometers. If the 4 upstream catchment areas are included, the total area is 41.85 square kilometers. The Bergunda Canal, which drains the catchment area, has the secondary order 2, which means that the water flows through a total of 2 watercourses before it reaches the sea after 110 kilometers. [5] The catchment area consists mainly of forest (34%). The catchment area has 4.6 square kilometers of water, which corresponds to a lake share of 21.7%. The buildings in the area covers an area of 5.54 square kilometers or 26% of the catchment area.

Lake Växjö

Highlight • Lake

The average altitude is 171 meters above sea level and the area is 8.59 square kilometers. When including the 2 upstream catchment areas, the cumulative area is 20.47 square kilometers. The Bergunda canal, which drains the catchment area, has a tributary order of 2, meaning the water flows through a total of 2 watercourses before reaching the sea after 114 kilometers. The catchment area has 0.76 square kilometers of water surface, corresponding to 8.8% of sea level. The buildings in the area cover an area of 7.34 square kilometers or 85% of the catchment area.

The lake is a very bird-rich lake with many ducks and Canada geese.

Växjösjön was previously heavily polluted and eutrophied. An official report from 1901 states: "Växjösjön can serve no other purpose than as a large reservoir for the city's wastewater". Nowadays, most of the wastewater is treated in sewage treatment plants. Nevertheless, eutrophication remains an environmental problem that the municipality is working on.

Växjö Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

The legend of Saint Sigfrid - A legend that was first written down in the 13th century says that the missionary Sigfrid traveled from England to what is now Sweden around the year 1000 to convert the people there to Christianity. He thought that the fertile land by the lake around what is now Växjö was the right place to build a church. When he answered the call to the court of King Olof Skötunge one day, he left his three nephews, who were monks, to guard the church. The locals took advantage of his absence to kill the three nephews. They buried their heads in the lake and the church was burned down. When Sigfrid returned, the three nephews revealed themselves as figures of light and asked him to build a new church on the same spot by the lake. According to legend, the locals soon regretted their actions and then actively helped build the new church - the origin of today's cathedral. Växjö Cathedral has its roots in the early Middle Ages and has burned down more than once. Today, the church with its distinctive twin towers is a landmark of the city. Thanks to its proximity to the Kingdom of Crystal, many of the church's sacred works of art are made of glass, which makes the church and its decorations unique.
