THE SEVEN TRAILS

Choose your route

1. Bräkneleden

CYKLING • 70 KM

A 70-kilometre cycling route along the Bräkneån river, designed to be ridden in stages. Two alignments to choose from: the northern route takes you through dramatic cultural landscapes shaped by the Ice Age and more recent industrial history; the southern route follows a flatter Iron Age landscape all the way to the coastal village of Järnavik, where a ferry crosses to the island of Tjärö.

2. Blekinge's longest gravel road

CYKLING

Between Hjorthålan and Jakobstorp, along two connecting gravel roads. Halfway, Bredasjön - a beautiful swimming lake with a barbecue area - offers a natural pause. The terrain around Gröngölsmåla is pleasingly hilly, with the kinds of climbs that earn their descent. Along the way: dry-stone walls, unusual rock formations and the particular quietness of a road very few people know about.

3. A journey through time

WALKING & CYKLING

A circular route that begins and ends at Naturum. The trail moves through Ronneby town centre, up a steep climb at Djupafors and into the forest, where the Anglestue shelter is a good stop for a packed lunch. From there, gravel roads and dry-stone walls lead through nature reserves and past Bronze Age cairns, down to Ronneby harbour, before climbing back to Ronneby Brunn.

Note: the section between Silverforsen and Kallinge centre is closed to motor vehicles.

4. Gribshundsleden

WALKING & CYKLING

Named after the Gribshunden — a 15th-century Danish warship whose wreck lies just offshore. The route passes the site of the shipwreck, continues to Saxemara nature park for swimming and barbecuing, visits an old boatyard, and follows the coast to Bussevik, where there is overnight shelter and a place to sit with a thermos.

Note: a temporary reroute is in place due to forestry work and new construction along part of the route.

5. Karlsnäsleden

WALKING & CYKLING

Following the Ronnebyån valley from Ronneby town square through Kallinge to Karlsnäs, this trail combines industrial heritage, stories of earlier generations' daily lives and genuine natural beauty. At Karlsnäsgården there is swimming, a barbecue area and several shorter walking loops to extend the day.

6. Tusenårsresan - the thousand-year journey

CYKLING • FLEXIBLE ROUTE

Choose your own alignment through some of Blekinge's most remarkable places. The route takes in Ronneby's historic town centre, the ancient estate of Johannishus, significant nature reserves and a stretch of unspoiled coastline. Legend-haunted sites alternate with quiet refuges. The kind of route where you will find yourself stopping more often than you planned.

7. Vildmarksleden - the wilderness trail

WALKING, CYKLING & HORSE RIDING

Walk, cycle or ride through quiet forest with clear lakes and the Bräkneån river running alongside. The trail connects Nordensköldsparken in Eringsboda to Svenmanska parken in Bräkne-Hoby — park to park through shifting nature with abundant wildlife, rushing water, old mills and the kind of stories that attach themselves to places over centuries. Fishing permits available via the iFiske app or ifiske.se.

Note: the river crossing at Klåvben, south of Hjorthålan, is currently closed.
