Your guide to the archipelago!

Karlskrona and Sweden’s most southerly archipelago is made up of 1,650 islands, islets and skerries – from Hasslö in the west to Utlängan in the east. Savour blue days of wind, water, salt-splashed rocks and glorious bays for bathing.
You best experience all the islands' hidden gems by bike or on foot, so feel free to bring the bike on the archipelago boats, when it is possible. Karlskrona Tourist Center happily advise you on different tours.
Karlskrona archipelago is a part of the biosphere area Blekinge Archipelago, which was designated by UNESCO in 2011 for its high and unique natural and cultural values. Enjoy our unique places, remember to show respect and take responsibility, in order to preserve our world heritage and biosphere reserve for future generations.

U137 - ”Whiskey on the Rocks”

On 27 October 1981, Sweden woke up to international drama when the submarine U137 (a Whiskey-class Soviet submarine) got stuck on the rocks at Torumskär - in the middle of the military protection area outside Karlskrona. The event became world news and put the Blekinge archipelago at the centre of world politics for 10 dramatic days.

More information about the dramatic grounding.
