Description

The Kråketorp nature reserve has mysterious old growth forest teeming with life. Beard lichen flutter from heavy tree branches. Moss, heather and bilberries cover the ground. Western capercaillies, pygmy owls and woodpeckers thrive in this environment, as do elks, foxes and otters. In the West Kråketorp woods, you can do a dawn excursion on the gravel road between Musteryd and Sandvik, where you have a good chance of coming upon capercaillies, pygmy owls and elks. Along the area's smaller forest roads, there are mushrooms in abundance. In the East Kråketorp woods, an exciting hiking trail takes you through very hilly terrain. This walk takes about two hours. Hurricanes Per and Gudrun have partially created a new landscape. See the link below for more information about the Kråketorpskogen nature reserve. This nature reserve is administered by the County Administration of Kronoberg.
