Eight tips

to do at Tjärö
  1. Sit down on a sunny cliff and look out over Karlshamn's beautiful archipelago.
  2. Stroll freely or hike along the two trails that allow you to discover the entire island. One of the routes goes north through a more hilly terrain over the cliffs while the other takes you through the deciduous forest. The whole island is a nature reserve with exotic flora and abundant birdlife, so just take in the experience.
  3. Bring your fishing gear and try your fishing luck for roach or pike.
  4. Paddle in the leafy archipelago, there is both canoe and kayak for rent.
  5. Bring a picnic basket and go ashore on a cape or island to enjoy the good.
  6. Eat a freshly baked waffle or take a glass break on the dock before it's time to get ready for tonight's restaurant visit.
  7. Sometimes it was nice to continue the afternoon and evening with a sauna. At Tjärö there is a wood-fired sauna raft at a buoy a bit out in the water you can rent. Would you rather be on dry land? There is a sauna in addition to that.
  8. Did you know that there is a twelve-meter high cliff - the Death Cliff - to dive or jump off? Do you dare to take up the challenge? It may be worth mentioning that everything happens at your own risk, but many people have received an adrenaline rush here. Want an insider tip? Wear the socks before you jump, it will burn less under the soles of the foot when hit.
