In the past - when the most frequently way to visit Karlskrona was by water - Kungsbron (Kingsbridge) was the front door to the city. The residents of Karlskrona once gathered at Kungsbron to welcome kings and other guests. The pink and white building is the residence of the county governor. The view from Kungsbron over the nearby islands is enchanting.

At the end of the 19th century Ronneby Brunn was a famous spa. People went here for the nourishing mineral water as well as the beautiful surroundings. The beautiful Brunnspark is a spa park with a history that goes back to 1705, when a Danish landscape designed the 100 hectares large park with wooden buildings. n the 1980s a famous Swedish landscape architect planned and designed the restoration of the park by adding new elements. The ‘spa buildings’ are also renovated and host modern companies. In 2005 the park was named Sweden’s most beautiful park; one year later Brunnspark came fourth in the “Europe’s most beautiful park” competition. We were lucky (early June) seeing all the flowering rhododendrons.
