Underwater Trail in Kollevik

Underwater Trail in Kollevik

Want to know more about life under the surface? Here is the chance to learn more about plants and animals that live in the water just outside the coast of Blekinge. The snorkelling trail is an "underwater path" with information plates on the bottom that can be read from the surface and is situated at the Kollevik bathing area in Karlshamn. The idea of the snorkelling trail is to pay attention to the marine ecosystems and increase the interest in life below the surface. The trail goes through various marine landscapes such as sand and rock bottom. The information is easy to understand and describes the most common species outside Blekinge's coast, but also large-scale Baltic sea problems such as eutrophication, boat bottom paints and overfishing. The trail is divided into simpler parts in shallow water and a slightly more difficult part in deeper water, however, max. 3 metres. The proximity to the beach makes it possible to interrupt the snorkelling whenever you want.

From the centre, there are boats to the island fortress of Kastellet and the other islands in the archipelago. - Karlshamn-Sölvesborg: An old, solid stone arch bridge crosses the River Mörrumsån.
