Beskrivelse

Part of this nature reserve was already protected in 1937. At that time, the aim was to preserve the large, untouched agkärret in the north-east. In recent years, the reserve has become larger and now also contains old, valuable coniferous forest.

Feeling of primeval forest

Now you have come to nature that is rare here on Öland - old coniferous forest. The oldest trees in this forest already sprouted in the early 1800s. The fact that the forest has looked after itself for a long time is evident from all the fallen trees. Thick mats of lichen and moss also contribute to the feeling of untouchedness.

Food for many

Old coniferous forest, deciduous swamp forest, hazel-rich forest - the reserve's varied nature offers a well-stocked pantry for birds. Woodpeckers chisel out fat insect larvae from the decaying wood of old trees. Kingfishers, black tits and other small birds feed on spiders, mites and other bugs up among the spruce branches. In the south, where there are plenty of hazel bushes, there is a flurry of activity in the fall when jays, nuthatches and other nut lovers stock up on nuts for the winter.

Botanical gem

We can thank Öland's limestone-rich bedrock for the diversity of plants found on the island. Most famous are probably all the different orchids. Here in Sjöstorp, for example, forest knotweed and white forest lily grow. Other plants that you may come across during your walk are ferns, wood anemone and eye pyrola.

Protected but gnawed

The eastern part of the reserve was established back in 1937. The purpose was to protect one of Öland's few undiked agkärr. But the marsh was drained in the 1950s, like many other marshes on Öland, to create more arable land. Today, about a fifth of the marsh's former size remains.
