Beskrivning
Ålsjön is an important bird lake. Around 60 different bird species regularly nest here. Among these are noticeable brun kärrhök, tornfalk, svarthakedopping, brunand, vattenrall, småfläckig sumphöna, Skedand, skrattmås, skäggmes, jorduggla and hökuggla. Fiskgjuse often hunts over the open water surfaces. In spring and autumn, Ålsjön is also an important resting place for waders and ducks, including salskrake and brushane.
Ålsjön is located in a flat valley surrounded by farmland, bogs and marshes. It is a nutrient-rich lake that has been stagnant under strong overgrowth. Since the late 20th century, restoration efforts have been underway to preserve the lake's open space. The work with reed control and creation of open water surfaces has meant that Ålsjön has begun to regain its former glory in recent years.

Tillgänglighet
There are several ways to experience Ålsjön. The easiest way is to park the car at the large parking lot by the E4. Click on the P in the map for directions. From the parking you can easily reach the western side of the lake where there is also a bird hide. Along the path, which is wheelchair accessible, there are several observation points.
When you reach the stream that goes under the E4, the path splits. Here's a good place to try and spot forsärla. If you continue straight ahead, you pass a section of deciduous and coniferous forest before reaching the bird observation tower on the south side of the lake (a distance of about 2 km from the parking to this southern bird tower). If you choose to go to the right, you have to get through the large culvert that leads the water under the E4 to shortly afterwards reach the bird tower with a view of Ålsjömaden. In the spring, when the area is flooded, there are good opportunities to see migrating waders and ducks.
