Nytebodaskogen, Naturreservat

Nytebodaskogen är en ovanlig syn med sina över 200 år gamla tallar och den enda naturskogslika barrskogen i Skåne. Intill Lommagylet växer tranbär och den doftande myrliljan. I den gamla skogen lever orkidén knärot och linnea. Mest känt är reservatet dock för sina många ugglor. Under tidig vår kan du både få höra sparvuggla och pärluggla. Nytebodaskogen ligger norr om sjön Immeln och Skåneleden tar dig tillsammans med en annan markerad stig på en rundtur i reservatet.

Welcome to Nytebodaskogen Nature Reserve

Trees have been rooted for centuries on the stony slopes of Nytebodaskogen. People, storms, and beetles have ravaged, but some trees have still managed to survive. Rare wood-decay fungi and beetles, woodpeckers and owls thrive here. A walking trail leads you past the spookily dark waters of Lommagylet and Kroksjöarna, while the Skåneleden Trail passes to the south. Large parts of the Reserve contain standing dead spruce trees, which will eventually fall over, so be alert and careful, especially during storms.

Nytebodaskogen has never been clear-felled and there are pine trees here that are around 250 years old. They germinated in the 1700s in a more open and light woodland - with occasional small arable fields and pastures, and meadows next to lakes and streams. Since then, the woodland has become denser and both spruce and beech have established on the wooded slopes.

During the 1900s, Nytebodaskogen was known for its, by Skåne standards, impressive old conifers. In the early 2000s, several storms hit, and many spruce trees fell over. This provided a feast for the spruce bark beetle, which has since killed more trees. Large numbers of dead trees are a given in natural woodlands. Nytebodaskogen has become a haven for many wood-living insects and fungi that are excluded from the modern intensively managed commercial forests.

Take a break at Lommagylet or Kroksjön – they provide peace and quiet. Beneath the glittering surface of the water, are rare diving beetles and dragonfly larvae.
