Description

Här kan du vandra omkring på botten av en utdikad sjö. Botten består av mycket kalk som i juli blommar av orkidéer och andra kalkälskande växter.
Botanister besöker Acksjön regelbundet för att titta på den säregna floran. Mitt ute i den hårda kalksanden bryter några härdiga växter fram. Du kan bland annat få se orkidéer som flugblomster, blodnyckel och tvåblad, men också den jämtländska maskrosen.
I kanterna, lite mer skuggigt, växer guckuskor gruppvis. De blommar tidigare än de andra växterna.
