In this nature reserve, you can walk through old-growth forest that has been untouched for generations. Pine and spruce are the most common tree species in the reserve, but you will also come across exotic species such as yew, thuja and Douglas fir.
The coniferous forest in the central parts of the reserve has managed itself for a long time. There are therefore plenty of old, coarse pines and decaying dead wood. These old-growth forests are valuable habitats for a variety of organisms, such as wood-dwelling insects, fungi, lichens and mosses.
The forest in the area has been protected since 1937, when a so-called Domain Reserve was established. The main reason for protecting the forest was the presence of the rare yew, a species that still grows in the central parts of the reserve. Thuja, weymouth pine and Douglas fir are other exotic features of the forest. These species are kept in check so that they do not take over the forest environment.
In the forest you will find common forest species such as bilberry, lily of the valley, sorrel and linden. There are also plants that indicate that the soil contains lime, such as toothwort, woodruff and horsetail. In the fall, a variety of fungi appear. Mushroom connoisseurs will be able to identify rarities such as the plugged funnel fungus and the oak wax fungus. If you are interested in lichens, you can look for barnacle lichen and cat's foot lichen on old trees in the reserve.
