Description

The most fun part about the Stendörren ("The stone door") nature reserve is that several islands are connected through hanging bridges, meaning you can island hop and explore the Baltic even further out at sea. A popular activity is swimming.

The avifauna at Stendörren consists of typical Baltic bird species like Karabağ martı, Kutup sumrusu, Pufla, Büyük Karasırtlı Martı, Ötücü kuğu and most memorable Akkuyruklu kartal. Even the rare Hazar sumrusu can be seen at times. In the forests live Tepeli baştankara, İspinoz and other common Swedish forest species. A bird tower is located in the middle of the reserve.

There is a visitors center also called "Naturum" with interesting exhibitions and guidings. The Naturum is always free of charge but mostly open during summer with an adjacent food truck so check in advance regarding opening times (see link down below).
