Description

The Tullgarn nature reserve is a diverse landscape rich in cultural history and fantastic nature. Here you'll find deciduous trees, calcareous coniferous forests, beach meadows and pastures. At the Tullgarn Palace, built in the 1720s, there is an inn and a café where you can sit and take in the beauty of the area.

To the west is Skräddartorpskärret, a lovely hay meadow with high biodiversity. Orchids are plentiful here, and during the summer, you can experience the blossoms of thousands of bird's-eye primrose and musk orchids.

Tullgarn is a very popular place for birdwatching. At Häggnäsviken, near the Palace, there is a wheelchair-accessible bird observation tower where you can see white-tailed eagles, ospreys and various species of waders. There are some excellent swimming spots at Lake Sörsjön. The Sörmlandsleden trail takes you through the nature reserve.
