Other Site Characteristics

The nothern part of the site is the top of the small mountain Karls Knös. The area slopes softly to the south where the mires are situated. The forest is a coniferous woodland with a great amount imressing old spruse.Norra delen av området består av bergstoppen Karls Knös. Området sluttar åt söder där myrmarkerna är belägna. Skogen är en bland-barrskog där inslaget av senväxt gran är karraktäristikt.

4.2 Quality and importance

The forest in this area has developed natural and is not so much affected by human encroachments. By this, the characteristics which distinguish a naturally regenerated forest does exist, namely a richness of coarse trees, dead trees and old windthrows, and those species who belongs here. These circumstances are very unusal in the forest land of today, and some of the species which will be found here are rare, redlisted and threatened. This gives the area very high values.
