LOCATION
Blekinge and eastern Scania is the south-eastern part of Sweden, located by the Baltic Sea, also referred to as the Garden of Sweden owing to its natural abundance. Historically, it is a part of Gotland from which Goths and Gepids set off to the south in the early years of our millennium. As far as beliefs and religion are concerned, Protestant Christianity is predominant. A number of fishing or harbour towns on the skerries coast are late-medieval or modern. We suggest choosing tiny Karlshamn (56°10′N 14°51′E), formerly, the main harbour of the Swedish immigration to America, as your starting point. Karlshamn offers ferry connections with Klaipėdaand Karlskrona with Gdynia.
