Blekinge

 

Blekinge, often referred to as the 'Garden of Sweden', is a charming province nestled in the southern coast of the Götaland region. It's the country's second-smallest province, but don't let its size fool you. This compact gem is brimming with character, from its scenic archipelago to its oak forests sprinkled with hazel and common hornbeam. The province is steeped in history, having been a part of Denmark for over 600 years before becoming Swedish in the 17th century.
