Description
Björkö Nature Reserve is very small—no more than 1.6 hectares. It is located on the island of Björkö, best known for the Viking town of Birka.
The reserve is home to old coniferous forest, with many trees over 200 years old and few signs of logging.
Take the opportunity to visit this gem in Lake Mälaren.
The reserve has been protected since 1944 and is managed by the County Administrative Board.
