Description

A trip into the nature reserve brings contact with old spruce forest. The top of Hammarberget lies at an altitude of 600 meters above sea level. The further down the north-eastern slope you go, the denser and more mature the spruce forest becomes. It is there, in the lower parts of the area, that you can meet calcareous vegetation such as soapwort, wreathwort and bracken. Trees with a diameter of 60 centimeters at breast height are often seen. After extensive felling in the mid-20th century, there is not much dead wood in the area, but through free development, dead wood will increase. In the eastern part of the reserve runs Fjällmanbäcken, which is an inventoried watercourse with high natural values. Historical maps from 1888 show that the slopes of Hammarberget were used for grazing and moorland.
