Sölvesborg is a small town in Blekinge with roots in the Danish Middle Ages. With its 8,800 inhabitants (2020), Sölvesborg includes Listerlandet, a peninsula with several charming fishing villages, e.g., Hällevik, Hörvik and Djupekås. Half an hour's boat ride outside Listerlandet lies the fabled island of Hanö. In the northern part of the municipality is Ryssberget with large contiguous beech forests. Sölvesborg is perhaps best known for the Sweden Rock Festival, which is held at the beginning of June every year in the village of Norje.
