Towers
Fågeludden
This old bird tower at the very tip of Fågeludden is a wonderful
place for people interested in birds. It is high, 15 metres, and offers
breathtaking views.
Hornborga Naturum
The tower at Hornborga Naturum has a lift, thereby enabling disabled
people also to reach the top. From here, it is possible to see one
of Sweden's largest colonies of black-headed gulls, grebe, ducks
and a large number of coot.
Ytterberg
The windbreak and platform at Ytterbergs udde can be reached from
the parking lot at Ytterberg, after a walk of about 400 metres.
Good view of the lake.
Fäholmen
The tower at Fäholmen gives you a good view of the northern
part of the lake. Best in the autumn, when the cranes fly in at
dusk. The cranes come from fields in the north to spend the night
at Lake Hornborga.
Utloppet
The bird tower at Utloppet on the western side of the lake is especially
recommended during the winter and early spring/late winter. The
flowing water enables you to watch ducks and swans when the rest
of the lake is frozen. There is a good chance of seeing and listening
to the red-necked grebe during the spring.
Hånger
The Hånger tower is perhaps the least well known at Lake Hornborga.
It is situated in the southern part of the lake and you need to
walk around 1.5 kilometres to reach it. Lovely view of the rich
and varied landscape around the lake.
Ore nabb
The little tower at Ore nabb also offers a view of varied environments,
not least during the walk - around 1.5 kilometres - to the actual
tower. You walk along a ridge, through deciduous forest and meadows,
with poor mossy areas on the left-hand side and the rich lake on
the right.
Almeö
It is a long walk to get to the Almeö tower from the parking
lot at Skattegården. The open ramble across the Hornborga
water meadow usually offers a number of interesting bird sightings.
From the tower at Almeö, you can see the southern part of the
lake.
