Beskrivelse

Meadows, meadows, marshes and forests - in Lindreservatet nature varies from one place to another. Which you can experience if you walk the reserve trail! The mosaic helps a variety of plants and animals to thrive here, making the Lind Reserve one of northern Öland's most valuable natural areas.

Floral splendor on ancient meadow

Night violet, St. Peter's keys, spurge and carob - the list of orchids that bloom in Kronängen can be made long, thanks to the toil of the past with scythes and rakes. Nowadays the meadow is mown by machine. The hay is not vital to the farmer and his cattle, but the meadow is mown for the sake of the orchids and other plants that benefit from mowing.

Shifting forest

The eastern part of the reserve trail passes through Kronängen. Trees with a special appearance grow on the edges of the meadow. They are gnarled and the branches grow from the same place on the trunks. Farmers used to harvest branches and twigs from these trees, known as pollarding. After the meadow, lush broadleaf forest takes over. Here and there you will come across old, large oaks. They grew up when the land was farmed and was more open. Along the path you will see white wood lily in early summer. If you continue north, the forest changes character. Swamp forests with plenty of pine grow here.

A scent of lime...

In the reserve's deciduous forests there is an abundance of lime trees, which is unusual both on Öland and on the mainland. The tree has therefore given its name to the nature reserve. In the spring, the crowns of the lime trees buzz when hundreds of bees and bumblebees are on the hunt for the nectar of the lime flowers. But it's not just bugs that like lime trees. So too does the rare fungus, the linden dune. The lime reserve is the only known place in the whole county where the linden dune grows.

Iron Age village of Åker

The nature reserve contains one of Öland's best preserved Iron Age villages - Åker. Åker consisted of several farms. House foundations, cairns, enclosures and graves are all examples of traces left behind by the villagers. Perhaps you will see one of the many ancient remains during your visit.
