Nav | Lökanabben, Aspö

Lökanabben is one of 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.

People came Aspö to make a living fishing, to work as stonemasons and to defend Karlskrona from Kastellet on Drottningskär.

Kastellet was built in the 17th century and is well worth a visit, as is the mobile coastal artillery museum (Museum för Rörligt Kustartilleri). The island is now popular as a home for artists, whose galleries are often open in the summer. Walk or hire a bike and tour the island, past peaceful bathing coves and buildings left over from the Cold War down by the Ellenabben battery, Kroken and “Gruvan”.

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