Description

Ånnsjön is a lake in Åre Municipality in Jämtland County. The lake and surrounding wetlands are rich in fish, water birds and other wildlife. The lake and surroundings is a protected Natura 2000 area. Some of the nice birds you can see here are Sibirska kreja, Troprsti Zlatar, Mali ronac, Ušati gnjurac and Prugasti Pozviždač.

The main part of the reserve - easy accessed from the railway station at Ann (pronounced “on”) - provided a wonderful series of hides and platforms connected by a boardwalk, which continued for several miles across the boggy terrain.

The reserve surrounding this huge lake consists also of an observatory at Handol at the Nord-West shore of the lake.
