The small town of Ronneby stands on the southern coast of Sweden in the Blekinge region, known throughout the country as 'The Garden of Sweden'. If you hire a car in Ronneby you'll be able to visit the attractions of this largely unspoilt coastal area, which include pretty villages like Backaryd, with its fine old church, and Bräkne-Hoby, with an attractive river valley and hiking trails. At the village of Eringsboda you can find the Blomstergården, an exotic public flower garden, and Räntemåla Gård, an elk park where families can feed the animals.
The biggest attraction in the area is the Ronneby Brunnspark, one of northern Europe's most acclaimed gardens. This former spa now includes walking trails, lakes, old villas, woods and vast rhododendrons. If you rent a car in Ronneby you'll be able to visit other sights, like the town's wonderful old stone church and its fabulously decorated interior. The sturdy looking white-washed Heliga Kors Kyrka was founded in the 12th century and can be reached by the old 'Monks Stairs' climbing up through the old part of town.
