Hissö is an island with a nature reserve in Helgasjön north of the Kronoberg peninsula and the Kronoberg castle ruins. It is located in Växjö municipality in Växjö municipality in Småland (Kronoberg).

The island has several hiking trails and a nature reserve with a 150 to 200 year old beech forest. There is a very old hollow oak. Large parts of the planted spruce forest that existed on the island fell during Storm Gudrun in 2005. The Hissö boat club has its harbor at the southern end. There are several barbecue areas with dry bags along the coast of the island. At the northern end of the island there are two dog bathing areas and a jetty to Musön.

The island is largely owned by the Swedish real estate agency, with the exception of a private property with four buildings northwest of the bridge to the mainland. The property is called Marieberg and the house was built at the end of the 19th century. Today's beautiful house was rebuilt according to old original drawings when the house burned down on January 8, 2005 when Sturm Gudrun was in charge. On the island there is a small nature reserve with an old beech forest. There are no buildings on Hissö or Musön on the 1725 map.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the island was north of today's bathing spots at the northern end, meadows and meadows belonged to the Stora Nybygget farm, which was also used by Stora Musön and Äppleön. On the west side of Hissö there were also pastures and meadows about 200 m south of Stora Nybygget's land.

A nice tour is around the island. Although only 6km but great nature and the whole time along the water. Absolutely recommendable
