The creation of the Risø Atomic Energy Research Centre in 1958 played an unexpected role in Bløden’s ecological story. Security reasons closed off the inlet. This unexpected protection transformed Bløden into a significant roosting site. The birds found sanctuary there undisturbed by human activity. This led to a flourishing ecosystem. The little islet Svalø in the middle of Bløden became vital for nesting and roosting.
Even the harsh winters held a surprise. The cooling water from Risø’s reactor kept a section of the fjord ice-free. This provided refuge for ducks geese and swans during freezing conditions. A unique natural phenomenon indeed.
