Description

Oxabanan är en historisk led på 17 km från Limmared till Tången och Hofsnäs genom ett varierat landskap med intressant historia. För att underlätta glasbrukets godstransporter byggde man 1880 en järnväg från Limmared fram till Åsunden där en ångslup tog vid. Banan höll dock inte för det inköpta lokomotivet utan man fick använda en oxe som dragare, därav namnet Oxabanan.

More than 12,000 years ago, an immense flow of glacial ice sculpted a landscape of remarkable beauty across Wisconsin. As the glacier retreated, it left behind a variety of unique landscape features. These glacial remnants are now considered among the world’s finest examples of how continental glaciation sculpts our planet.
