Description
Stenshuvud is a hill in the southeastern corner of Sweden. Since 1986, it is one of the National parks of Sweden. The park covers an area of about 400 hectares. The hill is 97 m high and faces the Baltic Sea. Since the surrounding landscape is relatively flat, it can be seen from a great distance. Most of the area is covered with broadleaf forest, but the park also contains heaths, meadows, beaches and marshes. You can take a very nice walk through the forest, the rocky coast, the heath and the beach. If you are lucky you will find birds such as Parlagi pityer en Nagy fülemüle.
