Momenteel
The nature reserve has areas affected by spruce bark beetle. Many spruce trees have died and may fall over time, so please be cautious and avoid visiting during windy weather.
The beetles only attack living trees and do not remain in dead wood. Dead trees are left in place to support biodiversity, as they provide important habitats for wildlife, mosses, and lichens.
Omschrijving
The nature reserve is located on the eastern part of Ridön Island in Lake Mälaren and offers a peaceful natural setting, with varied pine forests on rocky hills and mixed woodlands along the shoreline.
Thanks to the wide variety of tree species—coniferous, broadleaf, and noble broadleaf trees—as well as many old trees and large amounts of dead wood, the area provides an important habitat for numerous rare and red-listed species, especially fungi.
The reserve is easy to explore on foot, and there are excellent opportunities for swimming along much of the shoreline. You can also experience the area from the water, by private boat or kayak.
