Vännäs
In Brånsjön near Vännäsby, resting and breeding birds can gorge themselves on staggering numbers of insects. The lake is also one of Västerbotten’s genuine pearls for those of us who appreciate trips out into the countryside. Don’t forget to bring a well-st…
The reserve consists of a small ravine that runs into the Ume River between the villages of Penglund and Västra Pengfors. A small stream with a partly underground course runs through the ravine, and another occasional stream connects from the north.
Vinbäck Nature Reserve is a coniferous forest close to the town, just 2 kilometers from Vännäs town. Here you can wander around in old spruce forest draped with hanging lichens. In the wetter drops, the vegetation is lush with, among other things, ostrich f…
Långsjöberget är en liten naturskogs-oas. Hit kan man komma för att njuta och glömma bort omvärlden en stund. Reservatet är lättillgängligt endast 7 kilometer väster om Vännäs, helt nära väg 92 mot Bjurholm.
