Blankaholmsslingan, A

**The Blankaholm loops are two different loops next to each other that can be enjoyed either individually or in a sweep. Start and finish at the café above the long bridge.

At the beginning you walk uphill through wetlands and marshes where you can see frogs, lizards and a mallard nest in a treetop. Then you walk in an oak forest with old trees and arrive at meadows with a rich flora and a sloe berry forest with rich bird life. There is a 500-year-old lime tree here, which is now a nesting place for ants, starlings and others. You can see deer, hare, squirrel, mink, badger and quite probably pheasant. Now the trail turns off from the bark mulch path towards Blankaviken (Baltic Sea) with nesting seabirds and from the viewpoint you can also see the remains of both the sawmill and the glassworks, which were once located here. You walk past the bathing beach and the path continues past the old bathhouse, which is now a boat club, where you can sit down and admire the water sparkle. From here you can take the village street and walk to the parking lot.
