Blekinge, Administrative division in southeastern Sweden
Blekinge County extends along the Baltic Sea coastline, featuring numerous lakes, islands, and a landscape characterized by oak forests and natural reserves.
The territory belonged to Denmark until 1658 when the Treaty of Roskilde transferred it to Sweden, leading to the establishment of Karlskrona as a naval base.
The maritime traditions of Blekinge County manifest through its shipbuilding industry, fishing practices, and naval installations that shape regional identity.
The county connects to major Swedish cities through established rail networks and roadways, with five municipalities offering different services and attractions.
This administrative region matches exactly the boundaries of the historical province, making it the only perfect geographical overlap in Sweden.
