Description
Block-rich forest-marsh mosaic with cryptogamic species that require a moist and stable microclimate.
The nature reserve consists of old forest with both pine and spruce. The forest is dense, but it is sometimes interrupted by sparse pine forests and wet bogs. Here and there are old, large pine trees. Sågbäcken runs through the reserve and on into Tvärlikan.
The nature reserve was established to preserve biodiversity and valuable natural environments. Now the area is free to develop.
Animals and plants
The forest is damp and there is dead wood in various stages of decay. The trees are of different ages and some spruce have grown very slowly. Together, this creates good habitats for unusual mosses, lichens and fungi. One example is the violet-grey thorn lichen Bryoria nadvornikiana, which is found throughout the area. The less common woodland birds Tetrao urogallus and Picus canus can sometimes be seen. The forest reserve also has high biological values in the waterways. One example is the small brook trout Salmo trutta fario.
