Description

The Galtö nature reserve is a treasure trove of untouched nature in the north-west part of Lake Helgasjön. In order to get here, you need a boat, canoe, kayak or firm winter ice. This oblong island (about 700 metres long and 100 metres wide), you'll find old-growth forest, dead trees, steep rises, flat rock and storm-felled trees. Creeping Norway spruce grows in the northern part of the island. Black-throated divers and ospreys are in the area, so be careful when you visit. For more information about Galtö, click on the County Administration link, below.
