Description
This small reserve includes open grasslands, coastal meadows, dense hedgerows and groves of trees. The diverse nature is home to a wide range of plants and animals. Colorful flowers, fluttering butterflies, migrating birds - there is much to discover here!
Rich in flora
In Getterum you can see many different plants. The open pasture is home to cowslips, bride's breads, green night-flowering violets, clover and many others. The heath in the far north is a habitat for cowslip, soapwort and sowthistle, and ivy twines around the tree trunks. On the damp ground by Grankullaviken, haymaking flower, mayflower, meadowsweet and yellow campion thrive.
Exciting butterflies
The sun-warmed, flower-rich land is a perfect environment for butterflies. Some of the
butterfly species are picky about their choice of egg-laying site, as their
caterpillars only feed on a specific plant species. One example is the black-spotted blue, a
rare species recorded in the reserve.
Outpost for birds
From early spring to early summer, lots of birds pass by the reserve. They are on their way to their breeding grounds in the north. The northern tip of Öland is the last outpost
before the birds head out over the open sea.
