Description
View of the nutrient-poor lake Risbrodammen near Gigeryd farm from a bird observation tower. The area has patchy moors and islands. In the background the wide Dumme Mosse bog spreads out. Quite a barren environment with coniferous forests all around. Worth visiting all year round. During the breeding season you can observe the bog birds and in winter birds of prey can be seen here. Also some migrating birds are passing through in autumn and spring. Birds you can observe include rdečegrli slapnik, polarni slapnik, žerjav, kozica, zlata prosenka, veliki škurh, rjavi lunj, belorepec, planinski orel and škrjančar.
