Osprey Safari in Åsnen National Park

Welcome to discover the unique archipelago of lake Åsnen. The lake is about 155 km², with over 1000 islands. It is a shallow lake that guarantees a rich bird life. You can see Ospreys, Eagles, Blackthroated divers, Grey Heron, Cranes and many more lake birds on the tour. Just to get out on the boat gives you a feeling of freedom, and it is true that nature can heal our souls.

Program:
We begin the boat tour at 08:00. Our local guide has the boat and all the equipment ready and gives you instructions before we leave the harbour in Getnö. We all get life jackets and binoculars and with a bit of luck you can see the “Big 5 of Åsnen”; the osprey, the blackthroated diver, the eagle, the crane and maybe even our wild moose. The experienced guide navigates between the different islands in the National park and around the islands of Getnö. It is amazing to see how the osprey catches its fish or just to see them flying gently with their v-shaped wings. The guide anchors somewhere in a peaceful bay and serves you a “Swedish Fika” on board. With a little luck, you can also see the shy otter, which is the provincial animal of Småland.

The boat tour lasts around 3 hours and at the end of the tour, the guide takes you back to the harbour on Getnö – Lake Åsnen Resort. After the tour you can stretch your legs and go for a walk on the walking trails on the island or go to the country café for lunch.

(in the event of a storm or thunderstorm, the boat tour will be canceled)
