Värmlands fabulous region of Sweden provides wildlife with a rich unspoilt habitat, and long warm summers. Visitors to the area will have chance to see and hear elk, badgers, foxes and deer and maybe even find the tracks of wolves and lynx.

The area is excellent for birdwatchers. Sunny Värmland is home to numerous species of waterfowl, birds of prey, passerine and non passerine.

In the fields around the house groups of whooper swans, herons and egrets often gather, and it's not unusual to see the elegant Arctic loon emerge in front of you whilst lazing along the lake shore.

Tinghuset also has a resident Woodpecker (Hackspett) who spends many hours feeding on the horse chestnut trees surrounding the house!

Dedicated birdwatchers can enjoy many secluded locations along the connecting lakes and rivers and in the woodland. For the more adventurous we recommend visitors to travel southwards by the river that connects Björnflagan to Gillbergasjön, which is a protected nature reserve.
