Dalshult, Naturreservat

Dalshult och Sporrakulla var för 100 år sedan två av fyra ensligt belägna gårdar i den stora Kullaskogen i nordöstra Skåne. Idag finns bara 1700-talsgården Sporrakulla kvar och soldattorpet Rodatorpet. Men den ålderdomliga gårdsmiljön med stenmurar, odlingsrösen, små betade lyckor och hamlade träd finns även kvar i Dalshult. I Kullaskogen gömmer sig dessutom många tjärdalar och kolbottnar från svunna tiders framställning av träkol och tjära. Här finns även gott om ruiner efter övergivna torp och de gamla gårdarna. Dalshultastigen och Rodatorpstigen visar vägen. Utgå från parkeringen vid Sporrakulla.

Welcome to Dalshult Nature Reserve

Dalshult along with Sporrakulla and Grävlingabackarna Nature Reserves provide an image of how the land has been used for over hundreds of years and up until the beginning of the 1900s. Sporrakulla and Dalshult show how the most fertile land nearest the farm was used as hay meadows and for cultivation while the less fertile, stony land in Grävlingabackarna was used as pastures, where the animals grazed in the woodlands. The cows were moved along the drove roads from the fertile areas close to the farm to the pastures. The stone walls along the drove roads stopped the animals from getting out into the meadows and fields to graze. In the traditional rural landscape, man and nature have together, shaped an environment which is very rich in species.
