Description

The islands of Bockö and Mjöö lie outside the nature reserve of Eriksbergs stränder, and are popular with boat owners. The Eriksbergs stränder nature reserve runs outside Eriksberg wildlife park, and provides beautiful walks along the coast. The Allböle trail has glorious evening sun and views for miles. The Kohage trail includes beautiful beechwoods running right down to the water’s edge.

The rules for the nature reserve are shown in the link below, but, for example, dogs must be kept on a lead, and you are not allowed to light fires, or pitch a tent for more than 24 hours.

During the nesting period of 1 April – 15 July, you are not allowed to visit or approach within 50 metres of the island of Mjöö and its neighbouring skerries.
