Vaxjo, with approximately 75,000 inhabitants, is the capital of the Kronoberg region in southeastern Sweden and is an important trading center. It is located in the heart of the "Kingdom of Crystal", so-called because world famous glassworks such as Kosta Boda and Orrefors are located there. The area around Vaxjo has forests, pristine lakes, hiking trails and unspoiled countryside, making it an attractive area for students who love wildlife and the outdoors.
