About Blekinge
Just as the neighbouringScania, Blekinge was part ofDenmark, though ceded to Sweden in theRoskildetreaty of 1658. In 1680, the Swedish navy built a base atKarlskrona, soon making the city Sweden's third largest. Blekinge can be divided into three geographical distinct areas: The archipelago, the lowland by the coast and the highland in the northern inland. Most of the inhabitants in Blekinge live in the five main cities and in the coastal lowland. The rest of Blekinge is sparsely inhabited. Outside the cities and villages most of the buildings are either farm houses or dwellings of considerable age. These older dwellings are popular amongst foreigners on vacation, and can be relatively expensive to buy, even though their standards are spartan (an outhouse and no tap water).
