Heading North on the E4 Highway

The trip along the E4 highway doesn't have to be just transportation. By making a few stops at the right places, you will find that this journey has quite a lot to offer. The stretch from Jönköping to Gränna along Lake Vättern is one of the most scenic drives you will find, looking down at the second-largest lake in the country, with the island Visingsö in the middle. Jönköping is by far the biggest city in the area and beautifully situated right by the lake, but there's surprisingly little to see or do here. So it's better to keep going until you get to Gränna, just 15 minutes farther north. Before you get to Gränna, right after you pass Jönköping, you will see a wooden giant on your right. This giant, according to the legend, was on his way across Lake Vättern one day when he took a piece of land and threw it in the lake so that his wife wouldn't get her feet wet. That piece of land is today known as the island of Visingsö. The creator of the giant is a sculptor named Calle Örnemark who fell 12 m (40 feet) as he was putting the finishing touch on his creation. Fortunately he survived without any serious injuries.
