Description

Are you looking for a nature experience with a wilderness feel? Then Lunnamossen is the reserve for you. Lunnamossen is an area characterized by silence, stillness and unspoiled nature. It can be difficult to get across the bog, but you can walk on the edges and experience its nature.
Lunnamossen consists mainly of open marshland, but there are also islands of solid ground in the wetland, known as marsh islands. On these islands there is natural pine forest and mixed coniferous forest. The forest has been untouched for a long time and many old pines rise to the sky. In 2013, an old pine tree on the northeastern edge of the bog was aged. The age of the pine was estimated at over 400 years, which means it started growing in the late 16th century. This is the oldest known pine in Halland County.

Many exciting plants thrive here

Among the plants growing in the reserve are marsh lily, moor grass, meadowsweet, cranberry and pine. There are also many different types of mosses, such as sooty white moss, horned white moss, floating white moss, magnificent white moss and ruby white moss. Birdlife is rich in the area, including nesting capercaillie, black grouse, skylark and resting cranes.

Traces of the past can be found in the area

A map of the area was made in 1816. Lunnamossen was then called "Lönsmåssen" where "lön" probably comes from the Old Swedish löna with the meaning hide, hide. "To lunna" was in older times an expression for "to drive logs or wood in the forest/on the outfield". The name of the bog may possibly have something to do with this activity. Within the boundaries of the nature reserve there are two ancient remains areas. They consist of the remains of crofts from Hästhult and Lilla Hästhult. These sites are marked with information posts by the local history society.
