Blekinge offers one of the most varied landscapes for hiking in southern Sweden. Here forests, lakes and the Baltic coast meet along more than 270 kilometres of marked trails.
The best-known route is the Blekingeleden trail, stretching across the region from Sölvesborg in the west to Bröms in the east. Along the coast you will also find ARK56, a network of trails through the Blekinge Archipelago UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
You can hike short day trips, follow a full stage of the trail or combine hiking with cycling, kayaking and island hopping.
