Toegang
In several places in the nature reserve there are bird towers and other facilities for bird watching. See the map below. Click on a P in the map to get directions to that point. To protect nesting birds, you are not allowed to walk off marked trails between April 1 and August 15. Ramps, bird towers, hides and platforms may be used during this time.
A suspension bridge suitable for both wheelchair users and strollers makes Stora Tuvan accessible from the parking lot (see the map). On the island, an accessible ramp through lush deciduous forest goes out to the bird tower. The ramp is also available for the visually impaired. There is a hide at the far end of the headland.
