Nav | Stenshamn

Stenshamn is one of the ARK56’s hubs. The hubs are where different trails intersect, making them a good place to start or end your adventure – or to swap mode of transport and continue exploring the Blekinge Archipelago by bike, kayak, boat, ferry or on foot.

The little island of Stenshamn rises only 2 metres above the sea and half of it disappears at high water. Stenshamn is connected, via an embankment built by the armed forces, to Utlängan, the “farming island” among all the fishing islands.

Explore the two islands on foot or by bike. Climb up the observation tower on Utlängan and enjoy the view, look for seals along the eastern shore of the island and visit the lighthouse, where you can look across to the most south-easterly island in Sweden, Utklippan.

ARK56 and the Blekinge Archipelago spread out in front of you. Round the cape or headland, a unique environment awaits, shaped by nature, animals and people for thousands of years.
