Description
Linnesstranda is a wetland area formed by the shifting of the Lierelva river mouth over time, depositing large amounts of sediment. The area holds significant botanical and ornithological value. Since its protection in 1985, the reserve's lushness has only increased, resembling a tropical rainforest in Norway. In 1995, a birdwatching tower was erected to observe birds at the current mouth of the Lierelva river. Since the area is not very large, it's easier to get close to the birds at Linnesstranda than in many other places.
