Description
Soil fungi that live together with spruce thrive here.
The nature reserve has been established to protect an area of nutrient-rich spruce forest, which is a relatively rare habitat type in protected areas in the county.
Animals and plants
Most of the nature reserve consists of moist valleys with moving groundwater in a greenstone-affected and hilly terrain. The fertile and alkaline soil in combination with the older spruce forest provides suitable conditions for a special flora of soil fungi that live in symbiosis with spruce. The endangered blue truffle fungus has been found in the area.
