Description

Östringby gives you a chance to look into the enchanted world of the big forest. It is a reserve for cozy walks and exciting encounters with forest animals. Stop and listen to the sounds that the forest and its animals create. For those interested in plants, there is much to discover in Östringby. In the fall, you can fill your mushroom basket with the delights of the forest.

There are two hiking trails in the reserve. The southern loop goes from the parking lot to Lake Andfluckorna and back. At Andfluckorna you can eat your lunch at the rest area. The loop is about 1.4 kilometers long.

To the north, there is the Kronmosseslingan trail, which starts from the visitor center at the Rörbosjön nature reserve. This loop is about 2.7 kilometers long. The loop takes you up to Kronmossborgen, the highest point in the area. The slopes up the mountain are rocky and steep, but once at the top you are met by gnarled pines and low-growing spruces and a rest area. Here you can sit down and rest before continuing the hike. Take the opportunity to look at the shingle field that once stood on a beach where waves from the ice sea washed in.

The crown moss loop and the southern loop are also connected by an 800 meter long path.
