This nature reserve has scattered infestations of spruce bark beetles. There are many dead standing spruces in the forest and along paths. The spruces may fall suddenly and without warning. Watch out and avoid visiting the nature reserve when it is windy.
Description
The Gullunge nature reserve is full of rare fungi, mosses, lichens and insects that are specially adapted to the limestone soils and old conifers found here. Dead wood in various stages of decomposition provides habitat and food for many endangered species. The presence of specific plants, like bird's-nest orchid and wood sanicle, indicates that Gullunge is a relatively undisturbed forest. The rare three-toed woodpecker has also been observed here.
There is a 2 km hiking trail in Gullunge, perfect for mushroom and berry picking. A small detour from the path leads to the remnants of an ancient fort.
