Description
Oset och Rynningeviken are two adjacent nature reserves that cover an area of 740 hectares on land that was previously a garbage dump and industrial area. After many years of restoration a great natural area has emerged. Just north of the river Svartån lies Rynningeviken, with its enclosed pasturelands, lakeside woodlands, shallow coves thick with reeds and an outstanding view across Lake Hjälmaren. It is also the site of Naturens hus (the House of Nature), a nature centre offering a café, a nature school and information about nature.
The Oset wetlands with their rich bird life are located south of river Svartån. The foot and cycle paths around the entire area also work as embankments to control water levels. In the spring, the flooded shore meadows are recreated inside the embankments – and multitudes of breeding birds congregate near the shallow pools.
