Description
Ånnsjön is a lake in Åre Municipality in Jämtland County. The lake and surrounding wetlands are rich in fish, water birds and other wildlife. The lake and surroundings is a protected Natura 2000 area. Some of the nice birds you can see here are Siberian Jay, European Golden Plover, Red-breasted Merganser, Slavonian Grebe and Whimbrel.
The main part of the reserve - easy accessed from the railway station at Ann (pronounced “on”) - provided a wonderful series of hides and platforms connected by a boardwalk, which continued for several miles across the boggy terrain.
The reserve surrounding this huge lake consists also of an observatory at Handol at the Nord-West shore of the lake.
