Blekinge archipelago

Blekinge archipelago, Blekinge skärgård, is in Blekinge, Sweden.

One of the lesser known Nordic archipelagoes, the Blekinge archipelago is usually warmer and less crowded than Stockholm archipelago and Bohuslän. The Blekinge archipelago is somewhat different from the archipelagoes along the Swedish east and west coasts as deciduous trees are growing there in large numbers, especially solitaire and old oak tress that are windbiten and smaller than those on the mainland. The Blekinge coat of arms features an oak tree.
