Järnavik is one of the ARK56’s hubs. The hubs are where different trails intersect, making them good places 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.

Järnavik is one of Blekinge’s best natural harbours. In the Middle Ages, foreign ships loaded wood, tar and hides here at the quay, and the red warehouse is a relic of the age of sail.

It is not far from here to a superb view of the archipelago from the top of the hill in Järnavik nature reserve. Nor is it far to Tjärö, where you can walk through the protected grazing land or kayak along the shore of the nature reserve and try spotting white-tailed sea eagles.

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