Tips
Knuthöjdsmossen is a very rewarding place for bird watching. Several species of ducks (e.g. goldeneye and gadwall), but especially red-throated divers raise their young here. What is spectacular is the arrival of the parent birds, who successfully hunt outside, with the young birds waiting on the water in June/July, when their numerous feedings are scheduled throughout the day.

The ascent on the mostly planked paths is very easy. Please do not leave the trail on the muddy sections, so as not to disturb the birds. Don't forget binoculars! If available, it's also worth lugging a large telephoto lens.
