Hovgård naturreservat
- Nature reserve
- County: Hallands län
Actions
Description
Hovgård is an old gravel pit that has been transformed over time into a valuable sandy soil environment with sunlit slopes and sandy patches. A paradise for animals that seek sun, warmth, abundant flowers and good environments for nesting in sand.
The land is quite overgrown and there are no paths or marked routes in the reserve today. The goal is to clear and uproot the overgrowth over time. In the southwest corner of the reserve there is a burial ground with standing stones, stone circles and burial mounds. They are located under wide-crowned oaks with a beautiful view of Varbergsslätten.
