Price From
Join a guided walk across Vickleby Alvar and explore the unique landscape with its diverse plant life. Led by Eva Åkerstedt, you will learn about the area's flora, history, and geology during the early summer season.
Vickleby Alvar is home to a fascinating array of plants that have adapted over centuries to the harsh conditions of the landscape and grazing pressures. During this guided walk, you will gain insight into the distinctive flora and the orchids that bloom during early summer.
We gather at the large parking lot east of Vickleby Church, on the eastern side of the main road. From there, we walk through grazing pastures and onto the alvar, stopping at various points to examine the plants and hear stories about the area's geology and history.
The walk is led by Eva Åkerstedt, who shares her extensive knowledge of the landscape and its species. This is a great experience for nature enthusiasts and those interested in learning more about Öland’s unique environment.
