Description

Getabäcken consists of a steep valley side dominated by old beech forest. The northern part in particular is primeval forest with many stumps and fallen tree trunks. Small streams and springs run through the reserve, creating a favorable environment for many vascular plants.

By studying older maps, it can be seen that forest has existed along Getabäcken from at least the 17th century onwards. In more recent times, the forest has been completely untouched. This is also evidenced by the abundance of dead wood. This type of environment is home to many unusual forest species; species that place high demands on their surroundings. The old beech forest is home to many unusual lichens and mosses, such as red pyssling lichen, small noble lichen, pink lichen, pepper porella, shadow moss and beech feather moss.
