Description

Broadleaf forest, meadow orchards, marshes, pastures and a lake. The reserve's landscape is varied and here you will find old oak trees, indented alder marshes and wetlands that are home to lush flora and fauna with lichens, insects and fungi. Watch the occasional muskox and listen to the intense bird song during the spring flowering season. Why not visit the beautiful fields between the forest groves. Hazel, cherry and sloe berries meet remnants of the village's old apple orchards. A visit here is priceless. Experience it all by taking a walk on the orange marked trail. See link below for more information. The reserve is located in Tingsryd municipality and is managed by the Kronoberg County Administrative Board.
