Description

Fågelsjön - Ekelund is a series of forested ponds that are easily accessible in Hunneberg part of the Ekopark Halle- and Hunneberg. Nice for walking and birding during spring evenings when many birds sing their songs and the Kurki calls.

Details

Access

Drive a car or bike up Hunneberg via Bykleven or Flo kleve. Park immediately east of Eldmörjan (see the P on the map) and go south on the forest road, about 1.3 km.

Unfortunately, the bird observation tower is now quite overgrown and not of much use. There is also a path along Eldmörjan's eastern shore that is worth a walk.

Extra info

To preserve and develop natural and cultural values Sveaskog has chosen to turn Halle-Hunneberg into an Ecopark. Apart from the importance of the forest for outdoor living and the the well-being of the people, there are also other reasons for Halleand Hunneberg to become one of Sweden´s 36 ecoparks. First and foremost, it is a large connected area in a part of the country where such areas are rare. At the present time, Halle-Hunneberg is the only ecopark in the western part of Sweden.
