Description

Mälarskogen nature reserve is located along Lake Mälaren, from Norsborg in the west to Slagsta in the east. It is a natural area close to urban areas that is easily accessible to many residents of northern Botkyrka. The reserve consists largely of woodland. There is also a small water area and a few small areas of meadow and grassland. There are many large old oaks, plenty of footpaths and trails, older coniferous, mixed and deciduous forests, and a number of species of mosses, lichens and fungi that benefit from older forests with long continuity.

Bird life is rich, and no less than ten different bat species have been observed in the area. Bats thrive in this varied environment, with coarse hollow trees, denser shrub vegetation, buildings and stone structures, and proximity to water.

Part of the waters of Lake Mälaren are included in the reserve, in the eastern part outside Slagstabadet and Korpberget. This is a site for the underwater plant small swallow, which is a priority species in the Species Protection Ordinance. The rare fish, the common minnow, has also been observed here.

The area is rich in ancient remains from the Bronze Age and Early Iron Age. Among other things, there are ancient settlements and burial sites.
