Description
The forest has been allowed to grow in peace and quiet for a long time. It thrives thanks to the nutrient-rich soil containing lime. Here and there, there are dead trees still standing or lying on the ground. Both insects and birds like to be on and around the old, graying trees. Some of these wood-boring fungi are, for example, the border tick, the woolly tick and the hare tick. If you are here at the right time during the summer, you can experience when the guckuskon blooms. If you stand in the right place, you can see that it's like a long, narrow valley that runs right through the nature reserve. The ravine was created when the ice sheet melted. It almost looks like a canal.

Reservatet är fint men väldigt svårframkompligt pga alla nedfallna träd. För att öka tillgängligheten vore det väldigt bra om det fanns någon rensad stig i reservatet. Den behöver ju inte vara så lång men det är nog väldigt få som klarar av att vandra i skogen som den ser ut nu.
Vi stötte på något som såg ut som en gammal körväg i reservatet och på några få ställen såg det ut som att någon försökt rensa den på fallna träd med motorsåg.
