Description
Stora Drängabjär is part of Åkulla beech forests. Here you will find beech forests on mountain slopes with views of Skärsjön. If you want to discover the area, the hiking trails Bergastigen (3.9 km) and Slottsstigen (3.2 km) run partly through the reserve.
Stora Drängabjär is dominated by steep slopes with beech forest and rocky cliffs that slope down towards Skärsjön. The forest is partly of an untouched character with the presence of dead wood in the form of high stumps and flames. There is also some birch forest along the lake.
Several red-listed species
A total of 13 red-listed species have been found in the area, such as the common lichen, small noble lichen, beech feather moss, large banded moss and wood pigeon. The area is also home to the giant sponge moth, whose larvae depend on the presence of ticks on the trees.
History of the area
In the 1970s, several beech forest reserves were established within the Åkulla beech forests national interest. The areas were set aside primarily for outdoor recreation. Later, the biological values have been recognized and the natural values around Stora Drängabjär were mapped through inventories in the mid-1990s. In early 2006, the area became a nature reserve.
