Mittlandsskogen is widely known for its rich plant and animal life, but also for its many ancient remains from the Iron Age. Here in Karås you get a taste of all this! Hike along a lane, where Iron Age farmers' cattle trampled through thousands of years ago. Enjoy the many beautiful flowers of the deciduous forest and the spring concert of small birds. In the small marshes you have the chance to see the long-legged frog!
Do you want to feel the wings of history? Then walk up to the north-eastern corner of the reserve. Around 2000 years ago, Iron Age farmers lived here. The foundations of their houses are still there. And rows of stones show how they divided up the land. It is also possible to see a fenceline, where cattle were herded between the home and the pastures. Nature has embedded the old settlement with its greenery, so it takes a little patience to find the remains!
In few places in Europe can you experience deciduous forests like those in Mittlandsskogen. But this is no virgin wilderness. The land has been farmed for thousands of years, but it is only in the 20th century that the forest has really spread. The old deciduous trees in the forest grew up when the land was still open. The glades and verges are also remnants of the cultivation era. The history of the land is one of the clues to why the Mittlands Forest is so rich in species. Plus, there are many different species of trees and shrubs. And last but not least, the limestone-rich soil.
