Birkepøl is an area of wet coastal grasslands. You can make a nice round trip of about 9 km. From the dike you can observe both flooded grassland and seabirds. Among the birds you can encounter in the area are alli, mustalintu, haahka, tukkakoskelo, punajalkaviklo, meriharakka, kuovi, tylli, rantasipi, suopöllö and kiuru.
