Alby Nature Reserve (Alby naturreservat) is a prominent protected area situated in Tyresö Municipality, just south of Stockholm, Sweden. Characterized by its diverse landscapes, the reserve encompasses dense pine and spruce forests, open meadows, and serene lakesides. It serves as a vital green lung for the region, offering a peaceful retreat into the picturesque Swedish outdoors.

The area is deeply intertwined with local history, featuring old agricultural lands and historical estates that reflect the region's cultural heritage. Visitors to Alby Nature Reserve can explore a multitude of well-maintained hiking trails, including sections of the famous Sörmlandsleden. The reserve is anchored by the Alby friluftsgård, an outdoor recreation center that provides facilities for visitors, including cafes and resting spots.

The pristine Uddby farm (Uddby gård), still an active farm, is also located within the reserve, offering a glimpse into traditional Swedish rural life. Whether you are looking for a vigorous hike, a tranquil picnic spot, or a chance to observe local wildlife and bird species, Alby provides a versatile natural environment. During the summer months, the nearby lakes invite for swimming and kayaking, while winter transforms the trails into scenic cross-country skiing routes.
