Description
The reserve area is located at one of the highest points in Säffle municipality, with slopes in all directions. The area is between 190 and 307 meters above sea level.
The nature reserve consists of older coniferous forest with a high proportion of deciduous trees in places. The reserve also contains young forests with scattered old aspens, birches and pines left over from felling.
The natural values consist of the natural forest environment where some parts have been unaffected by man for a long time.
The reserve was established to preserve a natural forest with its flora and fauna, with elements of rare and endangered species, and to develop new mixed forest environments with a high proportion of deciduous trees.
Animals and plants
The availability of dead wood in various stages of decomposition is good in places, which benefits several threatened lichens, fungi, mosses, insects and birds. Threatened species that occur include the large aspen tick, candelabra fungus, lung lichen, asphodel beetle and three-toed woodpecker.
