Utklippan is Sweden’s most south-easterly group of islands and is made up of two low-lying skerries – Norraskär and Södraskär. Between the
two small islands lies a sheltered guest harbour. The southern skerry is the location of the former lighthousekeeper’s station. The fortification with the beacon is now a historic building, and from the tower you have a fantastic view of the seal colony, the infinite vistas and the barren landscape. The boat trip here takes roughly 1 hour from Karlskrona.

These two islands lie far out in Karlskrona’s eastern archipelago. Untouched, genuine and just large enough for a day excursion or a few days in the guest harbour.
