Description

In Öjsjömyrarna there is silence and stillness. Although the road is close, civilization feels distant. The footbridge quickly takes the visitor deep into the wilderness. Öjsjön can be glimpsed between the trees and the calls of the whooper swan can be heard over the water in the distance. There are both forests and open marshes here.
