Hökmossen Nature Reserve is a haven for moisture-loving mosses and lichens. Among others, you may encounter species such as Lecanactis abietina, a lichen that grows mainly on old-growth spruce, script lichen, and the liverwort Nowellia curvifolia. All three are indicator species that reveal the high qualitative status of this environment.
