Salamanderspaning i Mittlandet
Dagspaning Följ med naturguiden Caroline på en lätt vandring genom skogen. Vi letar spår från olika djur och lär oss känna igen träd utan blad. Har vi riktig tur har salmandern vaknat och förbereder nu vårfesten i Stillhetens damm. Med hjälp av den erfarna guiden lär du dig se de fascinerande djuren. När du väl sett den första ser du mer och mer av livet under ytan. Hör om vattensalamandern, vattensalamanders liv och livsmiljöer. Lär dig hur Sveriges två olika arter ser ut, och hur du skiljer hane från hona.  Dagspaningen tar 1,5 timme och kostar 95 kr per person.

Följ med Caroline på vandring längs stigen med pannlampa. I mörkret förstärks ljuden och du upplever Mittlandsskogen på ett annat sätt än på dagen. Kanske hör vi hoandet av ugglor. Och har vi riktig, riktig tur kanske vi får se salamander på vårvandring.  Efter vandringen samlas vi vid elden där du bjuds på något varmt att dricka och en nygräddad våffla. Så ta med dig din egen mugg och gärna något att sitta på. Nattvandringen tar 2 timmar och kostar 250 kr per person.

Därifrån åker vi gemensamt till skogen. Vi rekommenderar varma kläder. Välj gärna lager på lager med överdragsbyxor vid regn och blåst. På fötterna varma skor/stövlar som tål väta. Marken är plan men något ojämn därför fungerar det inte med barnvagn/rullator. Hund är välkommen om det är OK med övriga deltagare. Röster från guidningen: ”Wow – så coolt”  Elias 16 år ”Vilken fin kväll, en magisk upplevelse vid dammen” Gunilla 56 år ”Så intressant att få vara med” Hans 71 år ”Vi deltog på en superhärlig pannlampsvandring med Caroline som engagerad och kunnig guide. Fascinerande hur mycket liv det finns i naturen redan i februari. Den här turen var så fängslande att vi bara lyckades knäppa en enda bild. Klart värt en tur hit, vi har redan bokat nästa tur med Caroline.” Cathrine o Johan ”En jättetrevlig tur i Mittlandsskogen! Vi hade med oss tre barn (10, 7 och 4 år) och det funkade för alla tre. Vi fick lära oss om naturvård, träd, insekter, grodor, och salamandrar på salamandervandringen. Vi kommer att återkomma till någon av sommarens tillfällen med fårsafari.” Emmy ”Caroline är en trollbindande duktig naturguide! Önskar att alla kunde få uppleva en tur i den öländska naturen och Mittlandskogens olika årstider med henne.” Ellen Om guiden: Guidar gör Caroline Kindblom Landtmanson, utbildad biolog, certifierad naturguide, ölandsguide och certifierad skogsbadsguide.

Skogsbad i Mittlandsskogen
A forest bath offers you a deeper connection with the peculiar nature of the Mittlandsskogen. A forest created by thousands of years of grazing and farming by the people of Öland. Join us for a guided forest bath with Caroline Kindblom Landtmanson. She is a biologist, certified forest bathing guide ([SNFTI Scandinavian Nature and Forest Therapy Institute] (https://www.scandinaviannatureandforesttherapyinstitute.com/en/home/)), [certified nature guide] (https://certifieradnaturguide.se/), and [Ölandsguide] (https://olandsguiderna.se/) and biologist. She has 17 years of experience guiding individuals and groups in the nature of Öland. We offer forest baths on several occasions throughout the year. Just as the seasons change, so too does the theme of the respective forest baths. Therefore, each forest bath becomes unique. You can join us on one or book more. During a forest bath, you move slowly, or are completely still. The tranquility and calm pace during a forest bath allows your body and your emotions to perceive all the small nuances of the forest and nature. You give your body and mind the opportunity to connect with nature. The Japanese name for forest bathing is Shinrin-Yoku (林) meaning “take in the forest atmosphere with all the senses” Many people experience a stress in everyday life. Almost all of your waking time, you are connected and the brain is fed with new information and new impressions. The brain is in full swing to be able to act. It can be difficult to find ways to recover. Invest in yourself with a sensual hike in the Mittlandsskogen. Let your brain and body get a break from stress and worry. Give yourself the opportunity to reconnect with nature and the forest. The guided forest bath can increase the effect of the stay in the forest. The guide's voice makes it harder for your own thoughts to wander off. Forest baths make it easier to relax and be in the present. It will be easier to focus on the sense impressions through the invitations. They become like a reminder to see, hear, smell and feel.
