Description
Veka nature reserve consists of two areas, a northern and a southern part. The hilly terrain includes older beech forests. From high places you have a nice view of the Fylleån valley.
The forest throughout the area has a large element of deciduous trees. In the steep slope down towards Veka village grows older beech forest. The beech forest is valuable for mosses, lichens and other organisms that depend on old forest for their survival. The hazel shrub is common throughout the reserve and its nuts are food for jays and nuthatches, which, together with tits, like to spend time in the area.
