Billudden, Nature reserve in Uppsala County, Sweden

Billudden extends into the Baltic Sea with sandy beaches, limestone pine forests, and extensive seabuckthorn thickets across 1,930 hectares of protected land.

The former fishing village of Billhamn developed around a natural harbor formed by a melting ice block at the end of the last glacial period.

Two educational nature trails guide visitors through the reserve's biodiversity, allowing them to discover rare fungi species and northern European plant formations.

The reserve provides parking areas near Rullsands camping, with a regional bus stop located 600 meters from the main entrance on an asphalt road.

The land continues to rise from the sea at 70 centimeters per century due to post-glacial rebound, creating new shorelines and expanding the reserve's territory.
