Description
From the top of Mammasberg, the visitor has a mile-wide view of the surrounding landscape.
The area as a whole is very hilly and is dominated by two marked ridges running north-south; Mammasberg itself in the west at 560 meters above sea level, and a lower ridge in the eastern part of the area. The reserve area's hilly terrain provides great variation in the forest.
On the top of Mammasberget, and the eastern ridge, there is a sparse and lean forest. On the lush slopes, on the other hand, there is a 140-year-old, highly mature and coarse spruce forest with elements of deciduous trees such as aspen, birch and willow. The oldest forest is relatively sparse and in patches there is plenty of hanging lichen.
The reserve was established to preserve an area with natural forest-like old coniferous forest and typical species associated with old forest, dead wood and deciduous trees. The aim is also to maintain the silence and wilderness feel of the area. The area is part of the EU's ecological network of protected areas, Natura 2000.
Animals and plants
Less common species that thrive in the area are: three-toed woodpecker, gray woodpecker, lung lichen, brown-powdered needle lichen, old spruce cabbage, knotweed and spiderwort.
