Actions
Currently
In the reserve, many spruce trees have died as a result of bark beetle infestations. The bark beetles attack living spruces and then leave the trees. So, the dead trees no longer contain any bark beetles. However, dead trees are important for many other animals, mosses, and lichens that live in the forest. Therefore, the dead trees are left in the reserve for the sake of biological diversity.
Description
A visitor parking lot and an informational sign about the reserve. A marked path begins here that takes you to the reserve and to a picnic area with a fire pit, about a 400 m walk. The path joins with the Adelsö hiking trail by the picnic area.
