You're probably aware that your dog can join you on most adventures you plan. In Blekinge, where the possibilities for delightful experiences are numerous, a dog vacation is a perfect idea. Experience relaxing boat trips and beautiful archipelago cliffs to quiet forests, lakes, and meadows. There's something for every taste.
The numerous nature reserves, Blekingeleden trail, and charming parks are perfect for both you and your dog. Our cities have a pleasant size with quieter traffic and less congestion, making city visits more dog-friendly compared to larger cities. In addition, there are dog parks like Sölvesborgsbron, Halenområdet in Olofström, Vägga and Sternö in Karlshamn, Listershuvud and Hanö in Sölvesborg, and Tjärö south of Ronneby, Aspö and Skärva in Karlskrona – just a few examples of scenic places to explore and enjoy with your loyal companion.
You probably already know that your dog can join you on almost everything you want to do. And almost all the wonderful experiences that Blekinge has to offer – from boat trips and archipelago cliffs to forests, lakes, and meadows – are perfect for a dog vacation.
Most accommodations welcome dogs, but there's usually a limited number of rooms or cottages for guests with furry friends. To secure a spot for you and your dog, it's wise to book in advance. Fortunately, places like Scandic and Clarion in Karlskrona, Best Western and Eriksberg Hotell & Safaripark in Karlshamn, and First Hotel in Olofström warmly welcome both you and your furry companion, and some hotel chains even pamper your four-legged friend with small treats.
If you prefer to camp or stay in your own caravan or motorhome, it's, of course, open for your dog. But if you choose to stay at a campsite, please be kind and show consideration by keeping your dog on a leash or in an enclosure. Despite our wonderful furry companions, not everyone shares our love for them.
It's delightful to dine outdoors. A particularly wonderful thing about outdoor dining is that almost all places are great for dogs. Buying takeout and enjoying food and coffee in a place where the whole family feels comfortable and can relax is also a very good alternative for fine weather.
Throughout the county, there are places that make dogs feel a little extra welcome. This is the case, for example, at Restaurant Nybrygget at Tredenborgs Camping in Sölvesborg, where there's always fresh water in the bowl and ice-cold dog ice cream in the freezer. Also, at Café Mandeltårtan in the animal- and human-friendly Ronneby Brunnspark, Pensionat Järnavik, and Restaurant Vass in Karlskrona's guest harbor. If you visit Matvik outside Karlshamn, don't miss taking a break with ice cream for both you and your furry friend at Hamnpaviljongen.
Mostly, it's about common sense, but if you're planning your first vacation with your furry friend, or it's been a while since you traveled with a dog, it doesn't hurt to have a think-about-this list.
It gets hot. Dogs don't tolerate heat the same way humans do.
For safety's sake. Once you know where in Blekinge you're vacationing, Google the nearest veterinary clinic and save the contact details. It reduces stress and saves you valuable minutes if something were to happen.
