Rocknenområdet, Naturreservat

The Rockne area, a wilderness-like and beautiful reserve near Lidhult. Your hike starts at the parking lot. After 1.6 kilometers, you turn around to follow the same path back. No loop! You will see ridges, slopes, and wetlands, suitable for a quick excursion into the wilderness.

On the ridge, which is over 80 hectares large, sparse coniferous forest grows. Near the ridge, bog myrtle and dwarf birch grow, and in the elongated bog west of the ridge, there is one of Småland’s largest populations of bog-orchids.

To the east, there is a large bog area with marshes, solid ground islands, and the small Madsjön. In the marshes, mainly purple moor-grass grows, a grass that is common in moist soil. In particularly wet areas, there is cottongrass. Wetland mowing was very common in these parts in the past, but today the marshes are beginning to overgrow.
