Description
The Fifång nature reserve includes the islands of Fifång, Oxnö and Korpen, as well as about 20 smaller islets and skerries in the Södertälje archipelago. The reserve offers beautiful harbours and nature in a historically rich landscape.
The vegetation here is mainly characterised by pine forests growing on exposed bedrock, but on Fifång and Korpen you'll find deciduous trees, spruce forest and alder fens. The coniferous forest is home to birds such as the white-tailed eagle and European nightjar, as well as many unusual fungi species. This is also great place to fish for herring, and the shallow sea bottoms here are an important spawning ground for fish.
The only building on the islands, with fields dating back to the 1500s, can be found on Fifång. Here, you will also see sparse stands of old oaks covered in lichens, pollarded (pruned) ash trees, shallow ocean bays and grazed shore meadows and pastures. The limestone-rich soils provide an ideal habitat for wildflowers, such as black pea, coralroot bittercress and wood sanicle. On the eastern side of Fifång, there is a deep and smooth "giant's kettle" in the rock.
