Description

Natural forest and vast mires in a beautiful and undisturbed environment
Kallkärret is located on the hill west of the Klarälven river in an area characterized by fire and historically low-intensity forestry. The forest is a natural forest and is crossed by several bogs.

The older natural coniferous forest in the area has been left untouched for a long time, which has created good conditions for species associated with older forests.

There are ten documented ancient remains of the type of coal pits in the area. There are many indications that, in addition to the documented ancient remains, there are further remains not yet registered.

Animals and plants

The area consists of both wetter areas with spruce forest and pine-dominated areas. In each forest type, thanks to the microclimate and access to structures such as old trees and dead wood, there are good conditions for high biodiversity. 19 red-listed species and 23 signal species have been found in the area, including the three-toed woodpecker, the knotted woodpecker, the wood bustard, the purple-grey thorn lichen and the brown-powdered needle lichen.
