Description
The nature reserve consists of the valuable watercourse Långsån with surrounding forest and marshland. The river is home to the endangered river pearl mussel, which is the main reason for the creation of the reserve. Långsån is 3.6 kilometers long and flows between the lakes Lången and Stensjön. On its journey south, the river passes both forest and small marsh areas. In the north, the river forms small rapids and falls, while to the south it flows slowly.
