Description

The trail along the west side of Lake Fysingen is wheelchair accessible. This area is a real treasure for birders or those simply looking for a delightful stroll. The trail starts at the parking lot by the reserve's southern entrance (Åholmen) and offers a variety of natural landscapes along the water and beach meadows.

The trail itself is hard-surfaced. As it goes through the wetlands, it follows a wide wooden walkway. This trail passes a bird observation tower and the bottom floor of the tower is wheelchair-accessible. There are multiple lookout points along the trail, with views of the beach meadows and water buffaloes that graze in the summertime. The wheelchair-accessible trail ends at Ströms gård farm.

There is a toilet at the parking lot at Åholmen that is accessible for manual wheelchairs, but not for electric wheelchairs or mobility scooters.
