Fysingen

Lake Fysingen contains wetlands and open waters across 184 hectares, hosting close to 100 nesting bird species throughout different seasons of the year.

The protected area, established in 1984, includes Nordian's Mound, one of Uppland's largest burial grounds containing more than 190 archaeological sites.

The reserve combines natural elements with agricultural practices, as highland cattle and water buffalo maintain the beach meadows through seasonal grazing.

The observation tower connects to wooden walkways through reeds, offering two viewing decks and wheelchair-accessible paths for nature observation.

The northern shoveler, garganey, harrier, common rose finch, and Eurasian bittern make their presence known in the waters and meadows.
