Näsums bokskogar, Naturreservat

En gång i tiden gick boskapen och betade bland klippblock och branter i Ryssbergets skogar. Den karga marken på berget är idag en spännande naturskog där träden får rå sig själva. Här finns stillheten bland mossbeklädda stenblock och stora träd. I Näsums bokskogar finns fina vandringsstigar och här möts Skåneleden och Blekingeleden.

In English

Welcome to Näsums bokskogar Nature Reserve

Broadleaved woodland has grown for several hundred years on the ancient bedrock cliffs and stony slopes of the Ryssberget ridge. Cows, sheep, goats and horses once grazed here in a more open, sunny woodland than the one you see today. In the winter, pigs were put out to fatten up on the beech mast and acorns. Today the woodland is attractive for walking, dog-walking and picnics. The Skåneleden Trail has a lovely section that goes through the reserve.

There are large, old beech trees in Näsums Bokskogar as well as lots of dead wood. There is therefore, also a good chance of finding unusual species, such as the lichen Opegrapha vermicellifera and the large fungus moth, which are threatened by intensive modern forestry.

The woodland on the steep slopes has an old-growth character. The humidity is high and fungi, lichens and mosses thrive here. One example includes the rare moss bluish veilwort, which grows on the trunks of broadleaved trees, in dense, damp woodland. The beech woodlands in Näsums Bokskogar are allowed to develop freely – young trees need to get along with old and dead trees.
