The City of Växjö

Växjö is expanding around squares, residences and densely-built neighbourhoods. At the same time, the city offers many green features. There are many parks and long paths. In addition, there are a host of living things that you may not associate with urban living, such as the ancient trees that grow close to the city. Mountain arnica, common cow-wheat and hawkweed lend a golden hue to Grönadal Park. The Spetsamossen neighbourhood often hosts common hares and the Eurasian oyster catcher. The Eurasian collared dove nests in the Söder neighbourhood. The black redstart has left its alps and lofty mountains for the tallest industrial buildings of the city’s industrial zones.
