Description
After extensive felling in the middle of the 20th century, the deciduous willows have been allowed to grow. These middle-aged deciduous trees of aspen and birch have escaped modern forestry and are now allowed to develop in peace and quiet. The deciduous trees stand in a hill moraine landscape that was formed when the ice sheet retreated 8 000 years ago. The retreating ice sheet contained till. As the ice melted, moraine and ice clumps were deposited, which eventually became moraine hills with intermediate depressions and valleys.
