Description

Eldgarnsö is a perfect spring and summer destination for walking through an old agricultural landscape with flowering meadows and pastures, deciduous forests and beach forests.

An approximately 6 km trail circles around the island, and from the path you can see protected mistletoe in the treetops or endangered insects that thrive on the island's many old oaks and linden trees. For those interested in birds, keep an eye out for white-tailed eagles, cuckoos, honey buzzards and lesser spotted woodpeckers.

Facts

Suggestions for alternative destinations

Have you tried the Adelsöleden trail on Adelsö? A 16-kilometer trail that takes you to the Adelsö-Sättra nature reserve.

When was the last time you were in Väsby hage? One of our finest reserves with large oaks and a wonderful hay meadow.

Or take the ferry from Ekerö to Slagsta: In Korpbergets biotope protection area you have miles of views of Vårbyfjärden and the adjacent Vårbergstoppen probably has the county's toughest bird tower.

Directions

** By bus: ** Take a bus from Brommaplan to the bus stop Karlskär - then walk about 2 km. Current bus lines and timetables can be found at SL: [sl.se] (http://sl.se/en/)
