Södviken and Vässby fjärd are home to some of Öland's most beautiful lakes. Here, Ölanders have had animals grazing for thousands of years. Together with the shallow bays, the open grasslands and shore meadows offer perfect habitats for birds. Many different kinds of flowers also thrive in this special environment.
Sjömarker is the traditional name for the low-lying pastures that line the east coast of Öland. The width varies between a hundred meters and kilometers. Nowhere else in Sweden are there such large and continuous pastures near the coast. The people of Öland have been grazing their animals on the lakes since at least the early Iron Age, i.e. for at least 2500 years.
The Lakeland has a very rich plant and animal life, not least in terms of birds. Large flocks of ducks, geese and waders rest during spring and fall. Breeding birds include oystercatchers, redshanks, lapwings, wigeons and eiders. There are also many different plants that are only found on well-grazed land, such as wild clover, goose grass, coastal arum and dwarf arum. A special type of vegetation is also found on the seaweed beds that wash up along the shores.
On Själgrund, the large peninsula to the east, there are six boathouses that bear witness to the fishing traditions of the area. Two of them are built of limestone and may date back to the 18th century.
