Description

Tegelängen is a landscaped wetland for birds. Here, a large number of migratory birds visit the wetland during migration. Some species also breed on the site. A bird tower is built adjacent to the wetland. The aim is to keep a water level of 30-50 centimeters in most of the wetland. The area is grazed to keep the vegetation and create mud banks that attract the many waders and other waterbirds.
