Description
With Stora Alvaret to the east and the farmland by Kalmarsund to the west, Albrunna lund forms a lung, an oasis in the landscape.
A spring visit to Albrunna lund offers floral splendor and intense bird chorus. On your walk, you will pass several shelters from the Second World War. The northern part of the reserve is home to a number of unusual fungi and lichens.
Lunden in the spring
An island grove is something out of the ordinary. In spring, the herbs hold court before the oak and other deciduous trees close the canopy of the grove. The ground is covered with white and yellow cowslips, while hollowleaf and toothwort add pink and purple. Until May, the grove offers formidable birdsong. The soundscape is almost deafening when blackcaps, chaffinches, various warblers and thrushes hold a concert.
Farmed land brings diversity
In the past, farmers on the island used Albrunna grove as haymaking and grazing land. The oaks in the grove, which have wide crowns, sprouted and grew up when the land was more open. The oaks are considerably older than the other trees in the grove, which have an average age of about 100 years. Farmers also cut down individual trees for household needs. Therefore, you may come across the occasional stump in the grove.
Small birds thrive in Albrunna grove. Among the birds that nest here are garden warblers, warblers, nightingales, black-and-white flycatchers, hawk warblers and rosefinches. Some years the grove is visited by summer wrens and warblers. There is also a rich flora of fungi and lichens. The bark of the broad-leaved trees is home to the small noble lichen, for example, which has one of its few habitats on Öland. Other rarities are the violet-fingered mushroom, the bristle mushroom and the pale mushroom.
The reserve has two hay meadows that are mown every year in August. The meadows are home to spring daisy, also known as Arontorp rose. In Sweden, this peculiar plant is only found on southern Öland and Gotland. Other herbs that grow in the meadows are bride's bread, wild strawberry and bloodwort.
