Description
Here you will find a nature reserve with old, well-grown spruce forest that resembles the original forests through its trees of different ages and large amount of dead trees. In a free-growing forest, there are trees of different ages, dead trees both standing and lying on the ground. You can see that the dead, lying trunks have been broken down to different degrees by nature. Insects thrive in the dead parts of the trees, and so do birds that like insects. The dead wood is 'alive'. Another characteristic of a primeval forest is that there are many wood fungi on the decaying trees. The number of plant and fungal species is much higher than in younger forests.
