Description
The nature reserve consists of marshes and ponds with pine forests in between. The forest in Skommarmossen has burned several times and here you can see the traces of the fires. On many large pines, the bark at the bottom is black and burnt. In parts of the reserve there are almost only deciduous trees, which is common a few years after a forest fire. The biggest fire in the area occurred in 1914, so a trip to Skommarmossen might give you an idea of what the nature in the area between Sala and Ramnäs, which was hit by the big forest fire in 2014, might look like in 100 years' time.

En riktig pärla. När man vandrar ut på myren och beskådar tjärnen och vidderna känns det som ren vildmark. Riktigt avlägset och ostört. Hittade fina spår av varg i området senast. En favorit helt klart detta. 🙂 Tänk på att det är teknisk svår terräng initialt - lätt att snubbla/stuka foten om man inte är med. Mvh Thomas
