Description

Here you can wander among old spruces. They grow best in damp hollows where spring flows provide nutrients. There, the spruces can be so thick that you can barely reach around the trunk. The oldest spruces here are around 170 years old.

In the far west you can find plants that indicate lime in the soil. It is mainly wreathwort, a relative of the lily of the valley, that can be seen. But there is also a special moss that grows where there is lime. It is called wreath moss.

On leaner ground, you can find pine trees that are 250-400 years old. Many of them have traces of fire in their bark, known as fire rings.

When the forest is left to live in peace and quiet, sooner or later it dies, falls to the ground and slowly decomposes into mulch. If you look closely at the dead tree trunks, you will find mosses, lichens and wood fungi. In the dead wood, a range of insects thrive to be, eat and live. And then the birds soon come looking for the insects.

In the dead parts of the tree, life continues to flourish for many different organisms.

Around the nature reserve there are a few disused shepherd's huts. Although they are no longer in use, the grazing animals had an impact on the openness of the forest at the time. One of the reasons why there is so much deciduous forest in the nature reserve is probably that the forest has been more open to light due to grazing.
