To do in Byxelkrok

Byxelkrok Live, with the aim of organizing concerts and other events during the summer. The scene is the Festplatsen in Byxelkrok, an old-fashioned party place with small booths and a stage with a dance floor - not unlike old-time folk parks. Located 800 m from Annas Ställe B&B.

​Here you can stroll among small boathouses and boats. Here you will also find restaurants and in the evenings almost everyone gathers down on one of the piers to enjoy the fantastic sunset.

Böda Bay, with its two-mile-long sandy beach, is considered by many to be Öland's most beautiful beach. People of different ages gather here during the summer weeks to enjoy the sun, swimming and relaxation. But the beach is of course visited all year round. If you're down in early spring or late fall, you can pretty much have this all to yourself.

Bathing places such as Lyckesand and Homrevet are two places along this bay that are very popular. If you want more people, you can go to Böda Sand - the well-known campsite from TV.

At the top of Öland's northern headland we find Tall Erik. A popular excursion destination. Sometimes the lighthouse stays open so you can walk up the many steps to see the fantastic view. Yhe lighthouse is 32 m high and built of limestone. The opportunity for coffee has been very limited in the area and we therefore recommend that you bring your own coffee there to avoid disappointment.

At the far end of Öland's north-eastern cape liesThe Enchanted Forest, an old coniferous forest characterized by grazing that really lives up to its name. Gnarled wind-swept pines and old rough broad-crowned oaks grow here. The magical feeling is enhanced by all the ivy that climbs on the ground and over tree trunks. Trollskogen is one of Öland's most popular and well-visited excursion destinations. Here you can visit Naturum, which is a center where you get the opportunity to learn more about the animals, plants, geology and cultural history that shaped the area.

Neptuni fields is probably best known for its colorful bloom of blue fire. The flowering time is June-July and the blue fire blooms with flowers in an axillary inflorescence and turns sky blue when they bloom. These flowers are very popular with bees and butterflies.

Neptuni fields are a widespread cobblestone field along the coast north of Byxelkrok. The area is a nature reserve. This is a very good place to see swans and other birds at the beginning of spring, resting before the onward journey. The nature reserve is about 20 ha in size.

The cobblestone field is a result of the waves processing the stone material of the beach.
