Guide till naturreservat i Hallands län
Sundsholm is a nature reserve with varied nature. There are deep forests with old beech and pine, but also sun-open pastures where bluebells, meadowsweet, night-flowering violet and haymaking grass grow. The terrain is hilly with steep slopes, ravines and undulating land. There is a marked trail leading up to a viewpoint. Good footwear is recommended to navigate the hilly terrain.
The terrain around Sundsholm is very hilly. From the lowest parts down by the shore of Lake Töddesjön, a steep slope with loamy surfaces and boulders stretches up to the highest point of the reserve, 125 meters above sea level. The hills and terraces in the open cultural landscape are made up of gravel and stone from the melting of the last ice sheet.
There is a lookout point in the reserve where you have a beautiful view of the lower parts of the reserve. From the western and first parking lot, there is a marked trail (500 meters long) that leads up to the lookout, then you have to take the same way back down. The path is well trodden and easy to get around on, but there are a few steep climbs. Once you've made it to the top, you can sit down at the bench table, enjoy your packed lunch and take in the view.
The slope, which is criss-crossed by deep ravines, is covered with old beech forest. Further up the slope, a 100-year-old pine forest takes over. Dying juniper bushes testify to the forest's history as open pasture. Fallen trees and stumps with ticks and hollows give the forest an ancient character. A diversity of wood-living fungi, mosses, lichens and insects make their home here. A large number of unusual species have been found that are dependent on long forest continuity and cannot be found in the modern forest.
Adjacent to Lake Töddesjön is an undulating pasture with beautiful ice-river rolled stones in small cairns. In sunlit glades between juniper bushes and old aspens, a rich pasture flora grows with species such as little bluebell, heather, meadowsweet and sedge. Here you will also find maidenhair fern, night violet and haymakingwort.
