Description

The spruce forest around Flintbäcken is old and varied, like a natural forest.

The trees are around 200 years old and are draped in plenty of lichen, mainly witch’s hair. Large amounts of common haircap and peat moss grow on the ground. Lapland buttercup, with its wonderful green leaves and small yellow flowers, thrives by the brook in the swamp wood.

Good despite the ditches

Flintbäcken brook has been cleared to allow log driving, and ditches have also been dug adjacent to the brook. As a result, there has been a great deal of erosion in the area and interesting new environments have been created. Large trees have fallen down and bare earth has emerged. This has enabled a number of species to spread out that would otherwise have found it difficult to do so.

Directions

Accessibility is relatively good with a forest road connecting to the nature reserve.

The easiest way to reach the reserve is via a turn-off to the north, just before Lake Bjurselet, from the public road between Norsjö and Bastuträsk. The turnoff reaches the southeast corner of the reserve after about 750 meters, after another 700 meters there is a turnoff to the left. There is an information sign.

Härlig höst i Flintbäcken. Lappranunkeln står kvar längs bäcken. Bara blad så här års förstås.
