Description
Stenöorn Nature Reserve is one of the county's best places for birds. The area is located on the headland formed where Söderalaåsen (Ljusnanåsen) meets the sea. The ridge here consists of a flat and heavily swollen sand ridge with shallow beaches. In Stenöorn nature reserve you can watch birds from the bird tower. Or walk on the path along the sea. The beach meadows and birds offer great nature experiences.
The nature on the headland is open, with dry meadows and occasionally flooded beach meadows. Here you can find less common seashore species such as snake's tongue, saltwort, red foxglove, beach vetch, beach mallow, coastal arrowhead and striped spurge.
The low-growing vegetation and the large shallow water areas have made the headland one of the county's best resting places for waders. Almost all waders that regularly occur in Sweden have been observed here.
Keep in mind
To protect the bird life, it is only allowed to visit the marked path and the bird tower between April 1 and August 31.
