Rudsjön is a small, idyllic lake and a restored wetland in the Velamsund Nature Reserve near Vikingshill. 🌿💧 The originally overgrown water area has been restored and now offers valuable habitat for numerous bird species and other animals again. 🦆🐦 Especially beautiful: The species-rich wetland can be well overlooked from the viewpoint and the small birdwatching tower. 🔭🌲 Around the lake, open pastures, alder swamp forest, rocks, and forest alternate – a varied little nature stop. 🚶♂️🍃

Sågsjön is a deeply incised lake in a typical Swedish fault or rift valley landscape north of Boo. 🌊🌲 With an area of around 32.5 hectares, the lake reaches a maximum depth of 19.4 meters, making it significantly deeper than one might expect when hiking through the surrounding forests. 🪨❄️ The lake is a popular destination for swimming and fishing 🏊🎣 and is also of particular scientific interest: Stockholm University has been studying Sågsjön since 1956, making it one of the longest scientifically observed lakes in Nacka. The lake is home to numerous fish species, among others, and at its outlet towards Saltsjön, with a bit of luck, you can even discover special bird and animal tracks. 🐟🦆🌿 Geologically, Sågsjön fits perfectly into the landscape shaped by the Ice Age and ancient bedrock – a beautiful place to experience nature, forest, and water together.
