Description
If you hike up at the summit of Bröstsockerkläppen you may wonder why there is so much exposed bedrock and areas of shingle. It is because the whole mountain lay under water a few thousand years ago. Earth and other fine-grained material were then washed away by the waves. The earth instead ended up in the more low-lying areas of the reserve. Today a tall forest grows thereon land rich in herbaceous plants. Mezereon and Herb-paris are two beautiful, but poisonous, plants you can find here. The noisy Black Woodpecker, Sweden’s largest, can be heard here as it pecks deep holes in its search for ants in tree trunks. The area is 1.1 square kilometres in size.

Tog mig en tur idag runt omkring i reservatet denna soliga dag i mitten av mars. (16/3-24). Snöskor är väldigt smidigt sätt att ta sig fram med vintertid. Måste nog tillbaka till sommaren igen för att spana in klapperstensfälten som nu ligger långt under snötäcket.
var till detta naturreservat idag Söndag 16/10-22. vädret var dock inte det bästa, regn och dimma. Så av säkerhetsskäl vaöde jag att inte bege mig för långt in på klapperstensfältet om någonting kunde gå snett. på grund av dimman såg man inte så långt, så ser fram imot att åka hit fler gånger och utforska reserved mer.
Hej Elisabeth, vad kul att du varit till Bröstsockerkläppen! Hoppas det är bättre väder nästa gång så du kan utforska mer av området.
