Byvärma, Nature reserve

The 41-hectare Byvärma reserve was established in 1993 to protect very rare or endangered insect species. The reserve is located where the Helge River flows into Lake Möckeln. The Byvärma farm is an old manor dating back to the mid-14th century. Here, at the outflow of the Helge River, the ice never properly settled – hence the name “värma” (warmth).

The reserve consists of pastures, deciduous forest, mixed forest, marshes, and islands in Lake Möckeln. Next to the country road, there are two very old and large oaks. In the deciduous forest, there are many dead leaf trees at various stages of decomposition.
