Höbergsfjället
- Nature reserve
- County: Jämtlands län
Actions
Description
Here you will find old-growth spruce forest. Despite human activity in the area, the forest has the character of a primeval forest, that is, it looks original. The oldest trees can be found in the eastern part of the reserve, where there are spruces that are up to 200 years old. Near the mountain home Höberg, you can see that there is an unusual amount of birch and willow growing. The favorable southern location with mountains that protect against northerly winds and which collect the sun's heat, has allowed more southerly species to take hold. For example, a stand of elm has been found on the slope.
