Description
The Indalsälven and former ice rivers have transported sand and gravel with a lot of lime in it. Large, coarse spruce trees with a diameter of up to 80 centimeters show that the soil is nutrient-rich. In the soil layer you will find large mats of wreath moss. Here you can also find the plants thistle, knotweed and black magic grape.
The area is best known for the occurrence of bombardier's clover. A strange mushroom, whose fruiting body has a spherical shape with a wide hole at the top.
You can see that there are many stones and larger boulders in Kvarnån. This means that there are gravel beds and sandy bottoms in the course of the river. In addition, many dead branches and trees have fallen into the river, which means that many aquatic insects thrive.
