Description

Hastaböke has an old spruce forest with elements of older deciduous trees and occasional giant pines. The spruces are up to 250 years old. The forest has been untouched for a long time and is therefore home to many unusual species.

The reserve consists mainly of spruce forest where many spruces are 150-250 years old. There are also aspen, beech, rowan and oak. Several aspens are around 170 years old, which is a considerable age for a tree species that rarely gets older than 150 years. Some of the pine trees growing in the reserve are even older, one pine has been found to be as old as 375 years! Historically, the forest was probably used as forest pasture and was then sparser than today. The older pines and the occasional juniper bushes in the area bear witness to how the land was used in the past.
