Böda Ecopark

Böda Ecopark offers a distinctive and welcoming landscape at the northernmost tip of Öland, offering everything from barren sandy heaths with wind-twisted pines to calcareous pine forests rich with a diversity of orchids and lush deciduous groves with giant oaks. Böda's allure is not limited to the natural environment — the cultural heritage is also highly tangible. The large number of well-preserved ancient remains is unique in Northern Europe. Almost entirely intact villages with house foundations, stone enclosures, and burial grounds narrate the lives of former inhabitants of Öland.
