Oset

Oset is a nature reserve in Örebro Municipality featuring wetlands, forests, and open areas near Lake Hjälmaren. The mix of different habitats creates space for many plant and animal species throughout this landscape.

The area was designated as a protected reserve on April 24, 1968, following damage from military operations and waste dumping. Major restoration work took place in the 1990s to bring the land back to health.

The reserve has three rest houses, including the Erik Rosenberg cottage, where visitors can stop and learn about the natural environment. These spots help people understand the landscape and the creatures that live there.

Walking paths and information boards guide visitors through the reserve and make exploring straightforward. The area is also laid out to be accessible for people with limited mobility.

The wetlands here are protected under the Ramsar Convention and matter greatly to birds that migrate across many countries. The site plays an important role in international bird migration routes.
