Description
The reserve encompasses a small raised pine bog surrounded by mature coniferous forest. Hare's-tail cottongrass and bog bilberry can be found growing on the bog, while bog-rosemary, crowberry and cranberry grow on raised tufts in open areas. The smell of fragrant wild rosemary, growing in meter-high thickets on the bog, fills the air.
The coniferous forest bordering the bog is relatively untouched by forestry. The eastern and western edge of the reserve contains mature forest with a lot of dead wood, which makes it an ideal habitat for unusual and endangered fungi.
Moose, row deer, mountain hare and badgers live in the area. If you're lucky, you may even spot black grouse and fallow deer.
