Gamla Köpstad (norra), Naturreservat
- Nature reserve
- County: Hallands län
Actions
Description
Gamla Köpstad Norra consists of the islands Rödskär and Svartskär. At low tide, it is possible to get to Rödskär via a rocky shore, which has made the island a popular destination for excursions. The islands are also popular with birds and access to Svartskär is therefore prohibited from April 1 to July 15.
On Rödskär, which is the larger of the two islands, there are small, species-rich dry meadows interspersed with boulder and juniper fields. The salty meadows are home to saltwort, trift and goosegrass. At low tide, the island can be reached from the mainland without a boat, making it a popular destination for excursions.
Rocks and sand on Svartskär
Svartskär, which is dominated by rocks and sand, is an important nesting site for sandpipers, little auks, eiders and grebes. A boat is required to get to Svartskär. Remember that there is a ban on access during the nesting season.
