Beskrivning
The area and its surroundings is containing meadows, reedbeds, forest and the lake in it self. It is located within a military area (be aware of times of practice, see below) which has preserved the nature in some sense.
At the eastern shore of Krankesjön the biggest birding tower (Silveråkra) is located and next to it a hide. From the hide svarttärna can be seen very good and some years trastsångare can be heard. The fauna of the lake depends on the cycle of nutrion values in the lake, but rördrom can be heard and ägretthäger (in from a swedish perspective quite big flocks) can be seen, some years svarthalsad dopping has been seen.
On the western side is Sjötorps ängar located, meadows, grassland and copses where sommargylling can be seen ( a good tip is to stand between the groves, see the map) and heard. In the area gräshoppsångare and ocassionally vassångare can be heard . At the SW corner of the lake another birding tower (Almåkra) is located which gives a good view over the lake and the surrounding reedbeds. In this area (and others as well) pungmes can be seen.
The main period to visit Krankesjön is without a doubt in mid-late May, but the area gives a lot the whole year ( especially when considering the adjacent areas of Vomb and Klingavälsåns mynning).
