Kristianopel
Kristianopel
This is the picturesque little town, sometimes known as “the village of a thousand roses,” on the coast close to the border of Småland. Kristianopel was founded in 1599 and for about 60 years it was a city strategically located in the border zone between Sweden and Denmark. When Blekinge became Swedish in 1658 and Karlskrona was founded shortly after, Kristianopel went from an important city to a little village. Today, it looks like a typical fishing village, peaceful and charming, with a little harbor and old wooden houses. The only thing left from the Danish era is the church, but if you look around you can still see red and white flags on a few poles. The old town wall, built by the Danes, is also well preserved and reminds its visitors of Kristianopel’s history. Many visitors stay here for several weeks at the popular camping site, but the 19th-century inn is also popular.
