Descrizione

Västra Getterön Nature Reserve is located on the outermost part of Getterön. A place that is also popularly known as Gubbanäsan. But Gubbanäsan is actually just the name of Getterön's westernmost headland. Västra Getterön consists of an open moorland and a rocky landscape. It is best known as one of the best locations in Sweden for migrating seabirds in the spring. Almost all observed seabird species in Sweden have been found here. If there are storms from the west, there is a chance throughout the year to see Sula, Fulmaro, Gazza marina, skuas or storm petrels visiting from more open sea areas.

In the spring you can enjoy an impressive migration of Edredone, Orchetto marino, Strolaga minore, Oca colombaccio and more. There is also a chance of seeing rarities such as Re degli edredoni and Strolaga beccogiallo. Only a few species breed, including Oca selvatica, Canapiglia, Volpoca and Corriere grosso. Other birds you can observe in the area are Uria nera, Smergo minore, Marangone dal ciuffo, Culbianco, Spioncello marino and Allodola.

Accesso

Gubbanäsan is located close to the city of Varberg. The site can be reached by driving Getterövägen, from the old E6 at the northern entrance to Varberg, until it ends in the west. Click on the P in the map for directions. Park here and then walk out onto the headland for about 1 km. There are no marked paths in the reserve, you have to find your own way over rocks and cliffs to get around the peninsula. In the middle of the reserve is its highest point, just over 20 metres above sea level. Here you have a view of the western sea and the Balgöfjord archipelago to the north.
