Description

Here the vast Stormyran mire extends and the terrain is in places relatively inaccessible. On the low mire islands primary forest grows and there is plenty of dead wood that has been left, forming a habitat for many virgin forest species. All the mire insects attract woodpeckers, for example the Three-toed Woodpecker. The area is 5.8 square kilometres in size.
