Actions

Currently

The nature reserve has areas affected by spruce bark beetle. Many spruce trees have died and may fall over time, so please be cautious and avoid visiting during windy weather.

The beetles only attack living trees and do not remain in dead wood. Dead trees are left in place to support biodiversity, as they provide important habitats for wildlife, mosses, and lichens.

Description

In Larudan Nature Reserve, you can stroll through a forest with impressively tall pines. This long-established habitat supports a variety of sensitive species.

The reserve has no recreational facilities, apart from informational signs.
