Hides at Lake Hornborga

There will be no photography hides to rent at the Trandansen site. There are a number of reasons for this, but foremost among them is that administration and management are costly and our resources are now more limited. In addition, interest has declined in recent years.

However, if you are interested in photographing birds at Lake Hornborgasjön, there are still plenty of possibilities. The cranes often get very close to our viewpoints at the Trandansen site, especially both early and late morning. With a good camera, you have an excellent chance of getting close-up shots even without being in a hide.

On the other side of the lake, at Naturum Hornborgasjön visitor centre, are three permanent hides that are open 24 hours a day and don’t require booking. Here you can get a close-up view of great crested grebes, coots, black-headed gulls and a range of other species. (But no cranes here.)

Around the lake you will find a total of 8 different visitor sites with 9 bird observation towers in all.
