Karstorp vid Gagnån
- Nature reserve
- County: Jönköpings län
Actions
Description
The sandy soil in Karstorp is primarily home to pine trees thanks to their deep roots. The trees have been allowed to remain here for a long time, and this has benefited many fungi that have attached themselves to the trees. At the edge of the reserve flows the Gagnån, a watercourse that is relatively spared from acidification. The forest is an important protection zone for the river.
Karstorp by Gagnån is a reserve that is relatively easy to reach and is already a walking area for some local residents. As it is new, there is no information sign or boundary marking yet. A road already runs through the area, as do several paths.
