Mörrum River House
A classic Swedish river house, a stone's throw from Pool 15
Beautiful and cosy river house, just by the legendary Pool 15 on Mörrumsån
Come and stay in our beautiful, cosy river house in Mörrum. This is our second home — a place of pure quiet and calm — and we share it with guests looking for somewhere aesthetic to land and slow down. Spend your days in Blekinge and leave feeling born again. It is a home we love, so please treat it as your own.
Nordic minimalist, made for good food and deep rest
Dressed in a Nordic minimalist style — all light colours and clean, warm lines — it is, we think, the cosiest house in Mörrum. At its heart sits an open, French-modern kitchen built for food lovers, and a modern bathroom. Large windows bring a direct view of the Mörrum river indoors, so the water is with you from the moment you wake.
Two fireplaces give the house its evening glow: light one, pour a glass of red wine, and settle in with a good book while the river runs by outside. High-speed fibre WiFi runs throughout, so you can switch off completely or stay connected, as you please.
One of the World's Finest Salmon Rivers
The Mörrum River is renowned among anglers the world over, and for one reason above all: the size of the fish. Here you can cast for some of the largest Atlantic salmon and sea trout on earth, on Sweden's most celebrated salmon water.
The classic pools run from 1 to 32 over about 7 km — part of a fishery of roughly 18 km across five stretches — and the legendary Pool 15 is a one-minute walk from the house. The river meanders through lush Swedish forest with a beautiful mix of rapids and slow-flowing water. The salmon and sea trout season runs from 1 March to 30 September.
When to Fish Mörrum
High, cold water — about 100 to 30 m³/s and 0–10 °C. Salmon and sea trout run every stretch; fish deep and slow with sinking lines and bright flies.
The water falls to roughly 30 to 10 m³/s and warms toward 20 °C. Both species are on most beats — switch to smaller, darker flies and lighter tackle.
Low, stable flows (about 7 to 15 m³/s) and warmer water, 13–25 °C, fish well across all stretches. Summer night fishing is very effective, and autumn brings the sea trout.

Getting to Mörrum
Golf and salmon fishing on the same river
Karlshamn Golf Club, the largest in Blekinge with 36 holes, is 2 km away in Mörrum. Its Gamla Banan runs along the bank of the Mörrum river itself, so you can play a round and fish the same water in a single day. Few places let you combine golf and salmon fishing this easily.
Blekinge, all around you
Sparkling lakes, a gentle archipelago and white sandy beaches are all close by. Blekinge’s coast, about 2 km away, offers classic Swedish summer life — swimming, long days on the beach, good food and easy evenings. There is something here for every lover of nature and quiet.
Step outside and it’s right there
Blekinge is made for moving slowly through nature at your own pace, and the house is a fine base for it.
Laxaleden, from the river
A cultural walking trail that follows the Mörrum river through woodland and local heritage, starting close to the house — a gentle way to walk the same water you fish.

Sternö-Boön nature reserve

Cycling the Sydostleden
One of Sweden’s finest cycle routes, 270 km from Växjö through Blekinge to Simrishamn — a mix of coast and quiet forest.
Cold bathing, year-round
Blekinge is not only a summer place. The Karlshamn cold-bath house and quiet forest walks make autumn and winter their own reward.
Much of it is reachable by train, bus or archipelago boat, so you can leave the car and travel light.
Where the sea meets the farmland
Cook your catch or the day’s local produce in the open kitchen, or head out to the places we send our guests.
