Berga flys naturreservat

Det 84 hektar stora Berga fly naturreservat består till största delen av sumpskog med mycket tall men här växer också mycket björk. De äldsta områdena är upp till 140 år men det finns även äldre träd än så. Mer än halva reservatet har särskilt skyddsvärda naturvärden.

Varma somrar och regelbundna skogsbränder är förmodligen orsaken till att östra Smålands skogar är artrikast i Nordeuropa när det gäller vedlevande insekter.

There are a couple of parking spaces nearby the reserve. The easiest one to reach is in the southern part of the reserve close to Bäck.

Follow the road between Åseda and Älghult. Turn at the yellow sign which says Mada. Before you reach Mada turn right and follow Bergvägen (a small white sign) and after 2 km you reach Bäck and the parking space for the reserve.

1. damage natural objects or surface formations, for example by digging, drilling, painting or chiseling on rocks and boulders
