Stångån
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stångån is a small river in southern Sweden, 185 km long and with a drainage basin of 2440 km2. It flows from the highlands of eastern Småland in the south to lake Roxen in the north.
It passes through Vimmerby, Kisa, and Linköping. A great deal of the river is extended to a canal, Kinda kanal. A railway takes the same course as the river.
Stångån passes through the deciduous forests of one of Sweden's main cultural areas, featuring several great manor houses of the nobility.
