Description

Fågelsångsdalen
is a lush oasis in the agricultural landscape. Here, open pastures alternate
with mixed broadleaved woodland. Sularpsbäcken stream flows through the valley,
drowning out any traffic noise with its babbling noise, along with the song of
the site’s many birds.

Be aware
that the terrain is steep in places and that the paths can be narrow. Be considerate
of the grazing animals, that tirelessly keep the pastures open with their
grazing.

Activities And Facilities

Fågelsångsdalen
is a classic destination for both woodland walks and scientific excursions. The
area has long been visited by students and even Carl von Linnaeus used to come
here when he was studying in Lund.

The area we
see today is however, very different from what Linnaeus saw. At the beginning
of the 1800s, the area was described as open with only a few trees, but in the
early 1900s it became semi-open. Today, Fågelsångsdalen is partly overgrown,
but is kept open by grazing animals.

The valley
is also a popular destination for geologists. Fågelsångsdalen is the global
reference point for the boundary between the Middle and Late Ordovician
geological periods – one of two so-called GSSP points in Sweden.

Just south
of the Hardebergaspåret Trail there is a small car park and you can also park
your car in Södra Sandby for a beautiful walk to the Reserve.

On the Hardebergaspåret
Trail you can cycle all the way to Fågelsångdalen. Entrances to the Reserve are
in the southern and eastern parts of the Reserve.

Within the area, special rules and restrictions apply to the right of public access.
