Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Jönköping
Jönköping lies at the very southern tip of Lake Vättern, squeezed between the water and the high ground, and that position made the city. Vättern is Sweden's second-largest lake, long, narrow and extremely deep, with water so clear that it is used for drinking, and the shoreline here, with its harbor, parks and promenades, is the best place to see it. The city has a lively waterfront and a long, steep main street climbing from the lake into the hills.
