Walk in Gränna town, august 2020

Gränna is a locality situated in Jönköping Municipality, Jönköping County, Sweden with 2,665 inhabitants in 2018. Founded in 1652 by Count Per Brahe, it is situated in Småland on the eastern shores of the lake Vättern, about 40 km north of Jönköping.
The town is situated at the foot of Gränna mountain and is characterized by its steep streets and old wooden houses.
Gränna is, despite its small population, for historical reasons often still referred to as a city. Statistics Sweden, however, only counts localities with more than 10,000 inhabitants as cities.
Gränna is known for its red and white polkagris (literally "polka pig" in Swedish) stick candy, also known as peppermint rock. This was first made by the widow Amalia Eriksson in 1859. A statue of Amalia can be seen in the park at the foot of Gränna mountain.
