Description

Once upon a time, the grazing animals of the pastoralists probably grazed the lush hollows in this reserve. A third of the area is limestone coniferous forest with rich marshes and damp limestone streams where you can find both guckusko and forest fruit. There are also spruce-dominated areas with a lot of fire trails. A few pine overhangs have fire marks from three different fires. In the same areas there are really old trees and dead wood in the form of flames. Along the eastern edge of the reserve runs Sandtjärnbäcken, which is clearly affected by a limestone tuff located in the northeast corner of the reserve. The bottom of the stream is bright with calcareous minerals.
