Description

The Älmteryd nature reserve consists of a beautiful mosaic-like pasture with interspersed small forest areas of deciduous trees, mainly hornbeam, with wet meadow areas and small spring streams.
The northern and western parts of Älmteryd Nature Reserve consist of pasture land with elements of hornbeam groves. The reserve contains both dry meadow areas and wetter land. The eastern part is grazed arable land that has not been cultivated since around 1970.

The pasture is one of the most species-rich and varied in Blekinge's forest area. Several red-listed species of vascular plants are present, including wood anemone, creeping thyme, spruce spurge and Hartman's starling. The latter has only been found in a few places in the county. In the north-western part of the reserve there are springs, with water flowing out of the ground. Among other things, goldenrod and brook sedge grow in this area.

The village road that partly forms the boundary of the reserve has an ancient history. It is part of the highway that connected Lyckeby (Lyckå) with Bergkvara and Kalmar. The road has previously been called "Kungsstigen".
