Blekinge Coastal Tour

Overall a very nice trip in lovely surroundings! Good accommodation and service that was matched with attractions along the islands and the coast. Our only minus is that it was somewhat unclear some parts of the cycling, i.a. we were referred to a road on Sturkö which was signposted with a driving ban. See: 56°05'44.2"N 15°39'31.1"E. We can otherwise recommend this nice trip!

We went v24 and in many ways it was too early in the season. Had asked the question before but got the go-ahead. Few cafes etc open. The boat recommended on the first day did not leave until 14.40, which had caused difficulties in catching up with the day's cycling. Got a tip in the sports shop about another boat that left 12.15. The second day's biggest problem was the possibility of having dinner. The only open food service in Kristianopel closed the kitchen at 16. Otherwise, nice bike ride and we left bikes and packing on the fourth day at the hotel in Karlskrona and took a boat trip to Nättraby and got off at Dragsö on the return road and walked from there. Nice ride! The highlight of the trip was Aspö where we went first at 18, got a nice bike ride around the island in the evening and then a fantastic overnight stay in Lotstornet with great breakfast.

All good except for ambiguities regarding map material and directions. With Google Maps you can get around but there are many doubts in the description of the bike path.

We are very satisfied. It was hot and the bikes were a bit sluggish, so a bit hard. But we made it!

Hi, there. We are a little older and like coffee breaks. Tjurkö was closed, on Sturkö as well, dinner at Brofästet then, closed! Food basket in the cottage was gold, thanks Maud! To and from Kristianopel no coffee breaks, sad! Utetoa at Gästis in K, sad in the middle of the night. Good bikes! Put Aspö first in the tour! A feeling only. Greetings Maud and Sture Torngren

Uneven quality of accommodation which was not stated in the travel program. Standard of camping did not meet expectations. Nice bike paths, except for the last stretch between Kristianopel and Karlskrona which was mostly on a very busy road.

Good cycling routes.

Nice trip with good roads to cycle on with the exception of some shorter distances on the country road with a lot of traffic. Unfortunately, much was closed, eateries and sights week 33 as we cycled. Suggestion is to turn the round so the long distance comes first and the nice coastal, including the islands comes last. Good treatment and service by Maud on 3 steps.

On the whole, a nice bike ride, but maps, descriptions and markings of trails have shortcomings. Regards BABC 🚴🏼‍♂️🚴🏼‍♀️🚴🏼🚴🏼‍♂️

Everything was perfect. The only negative for us was that it was not well marked how to park for a long time with a mobile home. We were fined.

Both rice and praise. Hard to find food on the islands. Difficult to get the bikes on boats. Maud was very helpful.

The cycling experience itself was a five but the directions were not so good in some places, especially to and from Kristianopel. We cycled wrong a couple of times from Kristianopel to Karlskrona. We also missed that Senoren when we arrived the same day we received information that we were going to Sturkö camping instead of Senoren. On Sturkö it was a bit difficult to find food for the evening. Aspå and Kristianopel, on the other hand, were fantastic places. To end with the last night in Karlskrona was great. We can imagine doing this again.

Nice areas, and cozy places to stay. Aspö little island for cycling experience. Didn't get Tjurkö with us as it was unclear about boats there. Nice day between Senoren and Kristianopel, but too little cycling along the coast. Christianopel beautiful!!! Difficult to follow the map between Kr.opel-K.krona, would like better signage of the route. Some roads were barely cycleable with our bikes. All in all: nice week with sun and beautiful weather!

Heavy bicycles, no / few rest areas or places to eat, on many stretches there were boring country roads and small roads as there was not much to experience. The ferry from Aspö took only a few bikes so you had to worry about whether you got a seat or not. The accommodation was great good breakfasts, but at Senoren it was not possible to get a place that served dinner after 5.30 pm luck that Ica existed.

Cycle paths; badly marked in many places. Too little along water, mostly forest. Kustvägen promised food handling, etc., unfortunately most were closed! Difficult to find places to eat on the entire route. The description of the cycling was vague and unclear. The accommodations are generally good and pleasant. Improvement advice; send info in good time and preferably printed together with tourist brochures. Blekinge needs to get better at welcoming tourists. 😊

We would have preferred to have had our own toilet in all accommodations. At Särö, there was no possibility of getting a real dinner with potatoes, rice or pasta if you don't like Thai food. On the island of Senoren, you had to shop at ICA if you wanted dinner. There they lived in a campsite that it didn't say was supposed to be. Maud at "3 steps" is very accommodating and helpful.

On easily trampled Pilen bikes, stable and good, we completed our cycling holiday of 120 km with a smile on our face! Beautiful Blekinge offered the best weather and overnight stays we really enjoyed were Gästis in Kristianopel and Aspö Lotstorn. Nice welcome everywhere. Not just by the organizers. However, we share the desire of many Blekinge residents that Karlskrona municipality should build cycle paths on some heavily trafficked narrow roads! The forest road section of the Blekingeleden is also something that should be reviewed. But overall we are more than happy!

Felt that I received good support from Maud. Perfect cycling month / September. There will certainly be more cycling in Sweden in the future.

We knew it was low season, but we didn't think it would be so difficult to get food. The inn was good service but we were completely confined to the small room in the side house, there were no other premises.

A wonderful bike ride in the archipelago and on land.

It was a varied and pleasant trip. Really liked the flexibility in the layout which meant that we had one night in Karlshamn and then the last night on Aspö.

No comment.

Great service, everyone helped when we arrived. Everyone who took care of renting rooms, bicycles etc. has been very nice.

Easy to get around with the bikes on the boats between the islands. Bit cycling on busy 70-lane, which gets a little nervous when cycling with children. Advantage to book via local person (Maud on Tre Trappsteg), who had arranged very cozy accommodation along the way. Statt hotel in Karlskrona very boring in comparison, but totally okay for easy overnight. Was good to change the route on the last day to avoid the route inland from Kristianopel where, according to previous reviews, it is easy to get lost and instead stick to the coast road down to Torhamn to take the boat from there to Karlskrona.

Very nice and cozy route! Accessible except for parts of the Bleking Trail which were stony at times, but the bikes we got worked anyway for the purpose. Many restaurants and the like were closed, if this is because we cycled early in the season or the situation with covid-19 we do not know. But on the whole, VERY idyllic and cozy route that we recommend!

Hello We received very good service and service from Maud Selander, 3Trappsteg. When it comes to cycling and living, we are satisfied / very satisfied with the first three nights, ie even Kristianopel. Aspö lot tower was by far the coolest experience and the proprietor turned out to be a fantastic storyteller and guide. Use him more systematically, he would probably like it. The cycling to the Kustgården Senoren was very nice and the camping cabin as camping cabins are, quite ok. We got an incredibly generous breakfast basket there. When we were there, the Pentecostal church in Jönköping had camps for young people, which is totally ok. You can, however, wonder if it is ok that they start at 8 in the morning with warm-up music in festival volume, I would guess at about 90 dB. We were going up and away anyway, but otherwise people were sleeping. The accommodation in Kristianopel was very nice, although we had to call the host to be able to enter the room. There were keys in the key cabinets with code and everything went well, but it should be stated in the instructions that people may not be there and that you should call. The directions for cycling are not world class, but until Kristianopel it works reasonably if you have a little imagination. The trip Kristianopel - Lyckå is directly distressing with many ambiguities and direct errors in the directions. In addition, Lyckå is incomprehensible in itself. Here we have visited one fantastic place after the other and the tour ends with an obscure suburb of Karlskrona and an accommodation that is just next to a very busy traffic lane. When we got there, we decided to skip that night and cycle the extra mile to Karlskrona instead. That stop is really incomprehensible. For us, five miles is not a remarkable distance, but if that is the problem, you just draw a straight line so that the cycling goes to Karlskrona directly, or you change Lyckå to another more sensible place that is sights and scenic so that the cycling ends. in a good way. Now it became a really sad anticlimax. There will be no fives in the grades, as the final content does not measure up. Sorry, otherwise we got a lot for the money.

A wonderful nature experience, mixed water, road and forest. Difficulty reading the map or finding markings in some sections. Desirable to get an overall picture of the entire bike ride.

Pretty simple bikes. Would have been happy to pay a little more for better bikes. Mainly considering that the road was partly bad and difficult to cycle. The cycling experience was overall pleasant and varied. We think the first overnight stay at Aspö was the best.

Fantastic nice and varied cycling. The weather, of course, contributed to a nice bike ride. However, it was a bit tricky to find the right path at some places. This tour can hardly be recommended to anyone who is not used to reading such maps or does not have GPS with them! One recommendation is that in some places, in some way, sign up with directions. Please look forward to this for next season!

A nice experience to see a bit of Blekinge from a bike. We cycled to Kristianopel the first day. Overnight at the inn which had great rooms and a nice hostess. Unfortunately there was nowhere to eat as no restaurants had opened yet for the evening season. Luckily, the grocery store was open for another quarter of an hour, so there was panic cycling there for grocery shopping. Fantastically beautiful in Kristianopel and all its flowering roses. We ate breakfast at "Sött och Salt" down by the harbor, very good and friendly staff. The next day's trip went to Lyckeby. In some places the signage was bad so there were some to cycle back a few times. Varying surfaces as we also stepped forward via forest roads on the Blekingeleden. Dip into a lake for the brave during the day. Finally arrived in Lyckeby after about 40 km and wonderful accommodation. Good dinner in the evening at a restaurant within walking distance. Next day on mother Karlskrona. We stayed in Vämöparken for coffee and ice cream. Very nice park with old houses, animals and that day flea market at the dance floor. On to Aspö for the last night on our cycling holiday. We lived in the pilot tower and it was nice with the view room at the top. Both lunch and dinner were taken at Kastellet, highly recommended. Very good food in a cozy environment with beautiful stone arches. The next day we cycled back to Karlskrona where we started from the beginning. Nice city with beautiful environments. The walk through the gravel paths on Brändaholm was one of the highlights and unforgettable.

Cycled in fine nature. Just a long ride. 3 good accommodations. The cabins we lived in were poorly cleaned. A little poor service when we arrived no maps and tickets printed.

As previous comments a little bad directions, but we fixed it. 👍

The trip description was a bit difficult at times but otherwise everything was very well arranged.

Lovely luck very bathed in the heat. Everything worked well except the description Kristianopel-Lyckeby. Would be good with one page per stage not having to scroll. The maps could perhaps be improved.

Nice bike ride.

A trip where we got a lot for the money but we wanted the route to stay even more on the coast or on the islands.

Nice bike ride in a varied environment.

Great nature experience. Fun with the detour in Olsäng. It was magically beautiful. We drove wrong in Flyeboda. There could have been a sign along with the trail. Otherwise, great bike paths.

The bike path's signs had lost their color in some places and some were obscured by vegetation so we cycled wrong a few times, but we are satisfied and will hire you on our next cycling trip in Sweden.
