Kristianstad is situated in a unique wetland area, called "Kristianstads Vattenrike". Only a few hundred meters from the central railwaystation lies the Helge å River. Every winter the Helge å floods the surrounding meadows. When the water withdraws in spring, the birds enter the meadows. We have a very rich birdlife in Kristianstads Vattenrike. 

The area on the photo is called Isternäset. It is every year totally covered by water and dry in the summer.
