Kayaking ARK56

Paddling through the Blekinge archipelago is one of the best ways to truly experience the landscape.

With a kayak, you glide between islands and headlands, past oaks leaning out over the water and coastal meadows where silence is allowed to take up space.

Along ARK56’s kayak trails, you can move at your own pace — perhaps just a short trip to a nearby island, or a longer adventure with an overnight stay in the archipelago. Planning your paddle is easy with the help of Naturkartan, where you can see all the trails, rest areas, and hidden gems worth stopping at. In the map provided in this article, you’ll also find marked kayak routes and docks, making it easy to choose where to begin and end your journey.

Several routes have so-called “NAV,” where you can go ashore, take a break, refill your water, or simply stretch your legs. Don’t have your own kayak? No problem, there are several rental spots along the trails.

Paddling in Blekinge isn’t about covering great distances — it’s about being present in the moment. A quiet bay, a rock to rest on, a swim in the evening sun.It’s the simplicity that makes it profound.
