Description

Vista Kulle is a mountain peak on the eastern shore of Lake Vättern with magnificent views. A great spot to watch bird migration 152 meters above the surface of the lake. The birds follow Lake Vättern when they are heading south in autumn. Mainly small birds but also birds of prey and seabirds. Rare birds that have been spotted on Vista Kulle are Kutup martısı, Tayga çütresi, İbibik, Ala doğan, Bıyıklı baştankara, Kirazkuşu and Boz Ebabil. Definitely best visiting time is during autumn migration. If you are lucky and are there on in the right day, it is a fantastic experience with birds around you, both above and below one.
