Handmade paper mill at Lessebo

At Lessebo (9 km from the hostel) is Sweden's only handmade paper mill still in operation.

A handmade paper mill has stood here since 1693. Nowadays it produces paper that is used e.g. as letter paper, for contracts and as artists' watercolour paper.

It is possible to book group visits and, for a modest payment, learn about the foundations of paper-making and then make your own handmade paper. Read more at www.lessebo.se
