Description
Bymarka naturreservat is a rocky mountanous site, which extends above the tree-line with swamps, rocks and coniferous forests. The reserve is long and narrow and stretches 7 km from the Trondheimsfjord in the north to Skjellbreia in the south. The reserve has great variation in elevation, topography and exposure, which results in great variation in habitat types and species. About 30% of the reserve consists of northern boreal sparse mountain forest and low-alpine moors. Species, like Háromujjú hőcsik and Nyírfajd are breeding in the reserve.

NoExtra info
Be aware of the rough terrain! There are no real hiking paths in the area, as the landcape changes dramatically during the seasons: in Winter hiking and skiing paths go over swamps that are impenetrable in summer. Consequently, I do not provide any paths on the map below here for safety reasons. Use Norgeskart (Norwegian map service) and hiking information (e.g. komoot) to find some ways to explore the area, but just turn around, if the paths does not seem to exist anymore. It can get very steep (and slippery), so take care of yourself!
Be also aware that winter on that mountain is very long and much longer than down in Trondheim, so even in the beginning of April, everything is still covered in snow and people go here for skiing. It is a very popular skiing area for people from Trondheim, so at the weekends it can be crowded on the skiing paths.
