Discover Bredasjö

When planning a trip to Bredasjö, different interests can shape your plans: cycling, swimming, fishing, or nature and culture. Specific highlights range from Bredasjön and a cycling route to the Holmsjö Triathlon in midsummer and a local legend from the Bredasjö area. This lets you consider an active stretch of route, swimming and fishing, and an event date separately.

Cycling Route and Bredasjön

The cycling route “Blekinge’s Longest Gravel Road” passes Bredasjön halfway along; the swimming lake is also halfway along the route. This makes the lake a clear landmark along the way. For planning purposes, these are two distinct highlights: the cycling route is about covering ground, while Bredasjön brings swimming and a natural setting to mind. If you enjoy shaping your holiday around cycling, you can make the route the focus; if swimming spots are of interest, you can turn your attention to the lake and its swimming area.

Swimming Area and Lake

In Karlskrona Municipality, the Bredasjön swimming area offers a natural setting, a grassy area, and a diving tower. The landscape, green space, and diving tower are distinct, specific features of the swimming area. Bredasjön is 4 metres deep and covers 0.143 square kilometres. Its area describes its extent, while its depth is another dimension of the lake. It is drained by the Silletorpsån River. For trip planning, these features complement one another in different ways: the swimming area describes the spot, while depth, area, and drainage characterise the lake itself.

Holmsjö Triathlon in Midsummer

The Holmsjö Triathlon, sanctioned by the Swedish Triathlon Federation, takes place in midsummer at Bredasjön in Holmsjö, in Karlskrona Municipality, Blekinge. The Mini Tri starts at the Bredasjön swimming area. This makes the lake the event venue, while a specific starting point at the swimming area is given for the Mini Tri. If you would like to include the triathlon in your trip plans, check the dates and schedule for the relevant edition: event arrangements may vary from one edition to another.

Fishing and Local Folklore

Public fishing is available at Bredasjön for a fee. The lake is home to pike, perch, roach, tench, and other fish. If you plan to fish, check the fee information beforehand so you can factor it into your plans. Alongside cycling and swimming, this gives you another specific activity to choose from at the lake.

One cultural aspect is a legend from the Bredasjö area: it is said that church silver lies at the bottom of Lake Skäravattnet. This should be understood as a legend, not as a confirmed historical event. It adds a different perspective on the area to the information about cycling routes, swimming, and fishing—not through an activity, but through a local story.
