Kristianopel is a small town right on the south eastern edge of the southern Swedish county of Blekinge. Kristianopel is quaint and beautiful. In the summer it has fragrant rambling roses, wandering tourists exploring, and boats bobbing in the harbour.

Throughout our first two years of living in Blekinge, southern Sweden, we have explored a lot of islands and nature reserves in a bid to learn about the area we live in.
