This area is the county's largest known limestone coniferous forest. There is a very rich flora and high natural forest qualities, as well as remains of an old pasture wall.
There are old, herb-rich spruce forests, but also smaller areas of rich marshes, swamp forests and small springs. In the west and east, the forest is older, with trees that have up to 165 annual rings. There are plenty of old deciduous trees and mature pine…
In this mosaic-like, hilly area, the deciduous trees are numerous, the spruces are old and some of the pines are half a millennium old. There is a myriad of herbs, lichens and woodland fungi, and more than 26 red-listed species have been found.
The old and almost untouched pine forest has been exposed to many fires. Damage to the pine trunks, known as fire blight, is often seen. There is dead wood, which may be fallen tree trunks, but also standing stumps. The fire-affected old pine forest habitat…
Most of the area consists of bogs, swamp forests, streams and ponds. A large part of the marshland is sparsely populated with pine trees, which gives the area a beautiful and very special character. Here and there, ghostly dry oaks spread towards the sky.
Here you can wade through tall blueberry brush and step over rough, moss-covered trunks. Both healthy spruce forest and dry pine land are found within the reserve. Rotten old aspen trunks are a real feast for rare wood fungi.
Among large spruces and aspens, you can find plants and fungi that like lime in the soil. The fertile soil allows the trees to grow large quickly. You can find spruces and aspens with impressive diameters. Parts of the fertile slope have been used for pastu…
The Båthällan nature reserve is covered by old spruce forest. In the drier parts there are more pine trees, some of which are as much as 200-300 years old. In the north-eastern part, there are clear traces of a fire that raged in the 1840s.
The nature reserve is largely made up of deciduous forest with a deciduous fire character. This means that the deciduous trees took root after a forest fire, when there was suddenly plenty of both sunlight and nutrients for the fast-growing deciduous trees.…
The water flows between the trees, sometimes calmly and quietly, sometimes with a little more speed. The water hides one of the county's largest populations of river pearl mussels. They rise up out of the bottom and let the flowing clear water feed them. Th…
