Lake Hornborga is a bird lake all year round. Spring (March-April) is of course the time of the cranes, but it is also a chance to see thousands of whoopers, coots, ducks and waders.

It's possible to rent a hide at Trandansen, in the southern part of the lake, and watch the cranes from there. The hides are available for booking 2020 starting from 1 October. 
Please send us an email! We can be reached by phone from 10:30.

You have to be set in the hide at 4:30 am and are asked not to leave until the supervisor indicates that it's permitted to do so (approx. at 9 pm). It is only allowed to stay one person in each hide. Visitors must make their own arrangements for footstools, sleeping bags and similar personal equipment. Keep in mind that it can get very cold in the hide, since it is not insulated.

Price: 850 SEK per day
