Short walk |
From Karlskrona take E22 towards Kalmar for about 15 min. Pass Loesen and about 5 min behind Loesen exit and follow signs to Torhamn. Once the street splits, don't drive to the harbor, but drive to the natural reserve. Follow the dirt road all the way to the end into the parking. Park and take the wooden gate behind the barrier. Make sure to close it after you, and walk for about 100m on the meadow to the water.
