Our archipelago is the southernmost archipelago in the country and is the first that visitors see when they travel across the sea from the European continent. It has 800 islands and thousands of islets and skerries. The 20 larger islands to the east of Karlshamn are known as the Hällaryd archipelago. Blekinge's archipelago islands are lush with decidious trees, meadows and a rich animal life; islands with lots of space around them for people who want to experience Blekinge from the water. There are delightful guest harbours along the coast and on some of the islands which, as well as offering dry land, also provide electricity, showers/toilets, refreshments and shops where you can buy supplies.

Karlskrona is the city in the middle of the archipelago with bathing spots, hiking trails, nature reserves and the ever-present water. Take a bath at Stumholmen in the middle of town or take an unforgettable fishing trip at dawn. Karlskrona’s impressive and well-preserved architecture and town plan was given World Heritage status in 1998, which you are reminded of everywhere you go.

Karlshamn is a vibrant and charming seaside town with a fascinating history and the archipelago just around the corner. Out on the islands and along the cost there is a lot of hideaways. Please take the inland, where green forests and scenic experiences await.

Ronneby - the modern spa town with Sweden's most beautiful park and an active, vibrant cultural life. Do try the spa bath and finish with music in the evening. If you go outside the citycentre you can find small and amazing farmers markets, galleries with up and coming artist and restaurant with seaview only reached by boat.

In Sölvesborg you will find white sandy beaches, charming fishing villages, and southern Sweden's largest beech forest. A real town idyll next to the sea. Folow a bike track that takes you all the way to the countryside of Listerlandet, and the boat to Hanö, her you can experience the sea and nature on one of Listerlandets well kept secrets.

Olofström is the "Southern wilderness" where wild forests and hundreds of lakes and famous fishing grounds meet. History is present at the boarder to Småland, where the Snapphane once sought refuge. You can experience outdoor activites like paddeling, hiking and camping on bike, foot or on the back of a horse. The hikingtracks are endless.
