Want to explore more than JWOC?

Kristianopel, which is one of the most sun safest places in Sweden, is a true hideaway!

There are small shops, restaurants and a popular café. Accommodation is at the
campsite, in the harbor, in cabins or at a Bed & Breakfast.

To stroll around among the small wooden houses, where the heavy scent of roses from the gardens mixes with the fresh breeze from the sea is the best way to experience Kristianopel. Sit down on a bench in the harbour and look out over the water where you
can imagine Öland’s southern point in the horizon.

If you want to see the village a bit from above, you can walk around parts of the village on the mighty, old city wall. The view is fantastic!
