Accès

Veda Våtmark is located 12 km east of Jönköping and 7 km southeast of Huskvarna between the villages of Tovrida and Vireda. Click on the P in the map for directions. You come to a barn. To reach the small parking drive into the courtyard in front of the barn, and further down the short gravel road that runs parallel to the bike path in the direction west. The small parking is at the bottom of the road. Walk from there on the tractor road that leads out into the fields and towards the wetland. There is an observation point next to the first hill you arrive at, see the viewpoint on the map below. From there you have a good overview without going too close. A spotting scopes is preferred to really observe the birds well. Please don't go closer to prevent disturbance of the birds. Especially in autumn, the wetland can easily be emptied of ducks if you are careless and go too close.
