Description

Kungshamn-Morga is a nature reserve with mixed woodland, water, fields (for grazing) and information signs. If you come from the north, the first thing you notice is a coniferous forest with impressive old trees. However, the environment is characterized most by the old and open cultural landscape. It is a scenic mix of idyllic pastures and meadows, ancient forests and lush oak slopes, but also nice views. Among the birds you can see here are Whinchat, Yellowhammer, Pied Flycatcher, Eurasian Green Woodpecker, Black Woodpecker, Eurasian Bullfinch White-tailed Eagle, Mistle Thrush and Eurasian Skylark.
