Beskrivning
Ten minutes from Karlshamn by car is an island with a marina on one side, the sea on the other and an ancient burial site in the middle. It is called Boön and it is a popular destination for sunbathers.You can walk all the way round it in a hour or so, which may be the perfect way to break up all that sunbathing on polished rocks.
Much of Karlshamn's history revolves around events that took place on Boön. In addition to the nature experience, you will find many memorials from bygone eras on the island. Once upon a time, Karlshamn's defenses and a large shipyard were located here.
Follow the hiking trail around Boön, red marking, approximately 3 kilometers long. On the small island was Karlshamn's first defense facility, "Gamle skans". Sweden's largest shipyard was also located here.
