Description
Sandbäckshult nature reserve consists of a stretch of the Alsterån river with surrounding wetlands and continuous deciduous forests with old trees. There are riparian forests, swamp forests, but also forests on drier ground and remains of old pastures with large oaks. The species diversity is high throughout the area, with many red-listed species.
Alsterån - wild and friendly
The Alsterån river is rich in boulders here, with very large boulders in places, mixed with stone and gravel bottoms. The river is divided into several small streams and riffles with lots of both large and small islands. The river sometimes flows with wild rapids and sometimes calmer in a flatter landscape where valuable species-rich wetlands spread out.
Water full of life
The stretch of river is fairly untouched here, without the impact of historical gutting. This results in varying water levels and relatively natural water dynamics, where flooding is allowed to affect the surrounding land. This is enjoyed by species such as the hairy clawed mussel, the common mussel and the brown trout, all of which thrive in Sandbäckshult.
Unusual species in the forest
The forests around the river are also home to a number of unusual beetles that like dead wood and fungi that need old trees to thrive. Examples of insects include the red-necked black beetle, linden leaf beetle and giant fungus moth, and the small bat barbastelle has been found in the damp woodlands around the river.
There are good opportunities for outdoor recreation, especially south of the river, with several facilities that the municipality is responsible for. The Mönsteråsleden trail runs through the reserve and at Näset there is a barbecue area and shelter managed by Blomstermåla Fiske & Fritid.
