Description

Fågelsångsdalen is a lush oasis in the agricultural landscape. Here, open pastures alternate with mixed broadleaved woodland. Sularpsbäcken stream flows through the valley, drowning out any traffic noise with its babbling noise, along with the song of the site’s many birds.

Be aware that the terrain is steep in places and that the paths can be narrow. Be considerate of the grazing animals, that tirelessly keep the pastures open with their grazing.

Facts

Fågelsångsdalen is a classic destination for both woodland walks and scientific excursions. The area has long been visited by students and even Carl von Linnaeus used to come here when he was studying in Lund.

The area we see today is however, very different from what Linnaeus saw. At the beginning of the 1800s, the area was described as open with only a few trees, but in the early 1900s it became semi-open. Today, Fågelsångsdalen is partly overgrown, but is kept open by grazing animals.

The valley is also a popular destination for geologists. Fågelsångsdalen is the global reference point for the boundary between the Middle and Late Ordovician geological periods – one of two so-called GSSP points in Sweden.
