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.

SIGHTSEEING

The area described is covered with a dense network of roads, and the biggest towns are connected via convenient Malmö–Norrköpinghighway (E22). Along the coast there is also a railway line connecting Danish Copenhagen with Karlskrona. All the foregoing churches are open during the day, usually between 10 am and 4 pm. Only in Ahus the key is available in the nearby Museum, and the temple in Norra Asum may be visited from 10 am to 15 pm. The admission to the temples is free of charge.
