Anderstorps eneskog, Naturreservat

150-åriga enbuskar och mer än 150 miljoner år gamla vulkanrester - ja, Anderstorps eneskog har båda. En vandringsled tar dig runt bland de majestätiska enarna, men det går även bra att ströva fritt i denna betesmark. Toppen Äskekull är en av många basaltkupper i mellersta Skåne, en gammal vulkan. De svarta vulkanstenarna av basalt ses lättast i stenmuren på toppen. Härifrån har du samtidigt en fin utsikt mot Söderåsen. Strax utanför reservatet finns utsiktsklippan Natthall som istället erbjuder fin vy över Rönneås slingrande lopp. Skåneleden går genom Eneskogen och vidare till Natthall. Parkering finns i eneskogen.

Welcome to Anderstorps eneskog Nature Reserve

On the slope of a 200-million-year-old volcano, lies a strange woodland with gigantic junipers and ancient beech trees – Anderstorp’s Eneskog. The cows have been grazing here as long as we can remember and still do today. It is thanks to them that we can marvel at the ancient junipers and enjoy the wildflowers and butterflies in the pasture. The Skåneleden Trail passes through the reserve and leads you across this varied countryside.

Anderstorp’s Eneskog provides an insight into what large parts of the landscape of central Skåne looked like 150 years ago. In this type of unimproved pasture, there are lots of small habitats with varying degrees of humidity, light, and nutrients. This is why many species can live in a relatively small area. On the higher, drier areas you can see breckland thyme, whilst the great butterfly orchid prefers the damper areas, and where it is wetter still, the unusual lousewort thrives.

Butterflies an bees thrive in the warm, sanny glades with flowering bushes and herbs. In the larger areas of blackthorn scrub you may see the unusual black hairstreak butterfly. Green woodpecker and yellowhammer thrive in this type of varied rural landscape. Both birds are residents, so you can see them all year round.
