Rate birdingplace Stendörren
Description
The most fun part about the Stendörren ("The stone door") nature reserve is that several islands are connected through hanging bridges, meaning you can island hop and explore the Baltic even further out at sea. A popular activity is swimming.
The avifauna at Stendörren consists of typical Baltic bird species like Hettumáfur, Kría, Æðarfugl, Svartbakur, Álft and most memorable Haförn. Even the rare Ránþerna can be seen at times. In the forests live Toppmeisa, Bókfinka and other common Swedish forest species. A bird tower is located in the middle of the reserve.
There is a visitors center also called "Naturum" with interesting exhibitions and guidings. The Naturum is always free of charge but mostly open during summer with an adjacent food truck so check in advance regarding opening times (see link down below).
