Description

A wonderful mixed forest including pine, spruce and deciduous trees grows on the slopes that dip down towards the Umeälven river in Bålforsen nature reserve. Most of the pines are around 250 years old, although some are up to 350 years of age.

You can access the reserve easily on the road that passes through the area. There is a small sandy beach in the western part, and you can find a barbecue area next to the power station dam.

Cultural environment

Just outside the reserve’s boundaries in the south-east is a distinct, very well preserved timber driving wall.
