Tysslingen Nature Center is situated by the well-known bird lake Tysslingen at the foot of Kilsbergen just outside Örebro. During the spring it is Europe´s biggest resting place for whooper swans. Tysslingen Nature Center is a non-profit foundation with the mission to raise funds to feed the swans in the spring and other nature conservation activities during the year. The foundation was formed in 2001 through a donation from Gunborg and Lennart Karlsson in Rånnesta. Parts of the old district chief´s farm were cut off to make a visitor´s center for information on nature and the landscape round leke Tysslingen and Kilsbergen, ”The Blue mountains”.

Activities
In Rånnesta the year is filled with many and varied activities. The commencement of spring brings the ”Swan rest” which starts at the end of Februari and continues for almost six weeks. At this time thousands of whooper svans rest here on their way to their nesting site in the north. When the swans leave the lake it is time for the waders to arrive. During the summer these then give way to the nightingales, bush warblers and other birds. Bitterns can be heard round the whole of the lake, whilst the sea eagles keep a watchful eye from above.
Activities in Rånnesta are characterized by various theme days, presenting music and illustrated talks. A couple of traditional events are Tysslinge Day and the Winter Market. The café and book shop are open throughout the season as well as the art gallery.
