Human activities:
To make more acess for visitors we have created more than
20 visitor sites in the reserve. Some have birdwatching
towers, other have boardwalks or outdoor museums.
Ecological characteristics:
The Biosphere Reserve is in Skåne,
the southernmost of Sweden´s pro-
vinces. The area includes the lower
drainage basin of the River Helge å
in the Municipality of Kristianstad
and the coastal waters of Hanöbuk-
ten Bay, which forms part of the
Baltic Sea. It covers 100 000 ha and
contains within its boundaries land-
scapes and biological values of re-
gional, national and international
importance. At the heart of the entire area, extending north
to south, is an expanse of rich wetlands of international
importance (The Helgeån Ramsar Site). Other examples of
biotopes that are classified as possessing high biological
values of international and national importance include
stretches of running water, broadleaf forests and the sandy
grasslands formerly managed under a rotational system of
cultivation and falllow. Within all of these landscapes and
ecosystems there are areas af varying extent wich possess
such high values that they form a part of the European
Union´s Natura 2000 network. There are also about 15
nature reserves here.
