On Öland, nature varies between barren and open alvar lands, lush deciduous forests, fertile farmland, pine forests with rolling blueberry bushes, white beaches and dramatic coasts. There is room for both peace and adventure, with wonderful views. Experience the birds' spring song by bike, a cooling dip by the beach, the fresh autumn air along a hiking trail or the frosty alvar on a December day.
