Linneröd, Naturreservat

Linneröds naturreservat består främst av en blandad lövskog. Marken har sedan gammalt tillhört en av gårdarna i Linneröd. Gården har inte brukats aktivt sedan 1965 och skogen har sedan länge fått utvecklas fritt. Marken donerades till den lokala naturskyddsföreningen Klippanbygdens natur, som nu gjort flera vandringsslingor i området.

Skogen som utvecklats fritt

Linneröd består huvudsakligen av blandlövskog men innehåller även mindre partier med betesmark. Lav- och svampfloran är bitvis rik i området och till fågellivet hör bland annat flera hackspettsarter och skogsduva.

Spår av äldre järnframställning

I naturreservatet finns en fornlämning i form av en blästerugn som härstammar från tiden då man omvandlade myrmalm till järn. Väster om blästerugnen finns dessutom en mineralkälla.

Friluftsliv

I Linneröd finns tre olika slingor för vandrare. Fornfyndsrundan (vit) är 2,5 km, Åsrundan (blå) är 2,1 km och Dammrundan (gul) är 1,6 km. Klippanbygdens natur som äger och förvaltar området har en karta Öppnas i nytt fönster. över slingorna på sin webbplats. Tänk på att ta med ditt skräp hem.

Welcome to Linneröd Nature Reserve

In Linneröd Nature Reserve you find a varied forest environment with visible traces of past
human activities. The marked trails take you up to the top of the ridges and down to the birdlife around the constructed pond.

The land in the reserve was donated in the early 1990s by the three siblings Inga, Ivar and Gösta Larsson to the Klippanbygden Society for Nature Conservation. The family stopped managing the forest in the 1950s, and it has been allowed to develop freely since then. The result is a varied forest environment with both deciduous and coniferous trees. Mixed deciduous forest interspersed with conifers dominate, while the eskers are covered in nutrient-poor oak and beech forest.

Down in the moist depressions between the ridges are forested wetlands and open bog plains. The river Bäljane, a valuable watercourse containing e.g. mudskippers, runs through the eastern part of the reserve.

Living cultural heritage. People who once lived in the area have left traces in the reserve. Clearance cairns and stone walls show that cultivation took place here. In the north-western part is Mölledammen, now a damp meadow. In the past, it had a double function: In winter, it was dammed up to supply power for the water mill. In summer, the pond was drained, and thanks to nutrients in the soil from the water, it could be used as a hay meadow. There are also remains from medieval iron production by way of a bloomery furnace.

Walking trails. Marked paths lead to different parts of the reserve. It is also possible to walk
along the river Bäljane even if there is no marked trail. Tables and benches have been placed by the pond, where you can picnic in the company of birds and damselflies.
