Beijershamn

Beijershamn Nature Reserve contains extensive reedbeds, marshes, and coastal meadows along a 2-kilometer pier extending into the Baltic Sea.

The area transformed from a failed harbor project in 1858 into a protected nature reserve in 1943, following natural sedimentation processes.

The reserve attracts numerous bird researchers and photographers who document over 250 bird species throughout different migration seasons.

Visitors can access three marked trails ranging from 500 meters to 5 kilometers, with observation towers and information boards along the routes.

The reserve hosts 650 butterfly species out of Sweden's total 950, making it one of the country's most concentrated areas for lepidoptera observation.
