Kristianopel
A small fishing village of fewer than a hundred residents, surrounded by 17th-century walls; formerly a Danish border fortress, it has wooden houses, a small church and a seaside wall walk full of rural charm.
Kristianopel was built in 1600 by Danish King Christian IV as a border fortress between Denmark and Sweden, after which Sweden demolished most of its fortifications. Today it is a seaside village of fewer than 100 residents, where you can walk around the village along the surviving walls and see wooden houses, a small chapel and the harbor. In summer there are cafés, a yacht marina and a campsite. It is about 30 km from Karlskrona and requires a car or a summer bus.
