The nature is mainly dominated by forests, as usually in
Småland, but there are also significant
agricultural areas. Stretching from the northern to the southern parts is the river
Lagan, making up the foundation of the water system with opportunities for fishing, canoeing and camping. There are also specific areas created for walks in forest and wildlife nature, and just east of the town Markaryd is a possibility for
moose safari, arranged by Smalandet. The
European route E4 motorway goes just by the town of Markaryd and also the other town
Strömsnäsbruk.
