Description
The Sundby nature reserve encompasses the southern part of the island of Ornö and approximately 30 of the nearby islands. The vegetation on the larger islands consists of thinly forested exposed bedrock, while the smaller islands have only sparse vegetation if any.
On Ornö, Lake Maren is surrounded by a beautiful verdant landscape, rich in history, with green pastures and large old oaks standing among the meadows. On the north-west side of the lake, you'll find the ruins of Stenhuset, a manor house that was burned to the ground by Russians in 1719. West of Lake Maren is Stunnträsk, a 40 m deep lake that is one of the deepest in the county. First those interested in birdwatching, it's possible to see many different species of birds at the many coastal bays in the reserve.
Get a taste of what Ornö has to offer by taking an easy 6 km hiking loop around the reserve. You are welcome to visit the reserve by foot or by bicycle but the roads within the reserve are closed to cars. It is easy to get here by public transit or by car. There is a bus stop and parking lot by Sundby gård farm.
