Beskrivning
The area was part of an EU LIFE project where non-indigenous spruce plantations have been removed and the meandering course of streams restored until 2014. Since then, the clearcut areas have been developed under natural succession and represent an interesting mosaic of semi-open dry and swampy habitats. The surrounding forest was partially damaged by 2007 windstorm "Kyrill" and thus also contains clearings and semi-open windthrow areas.
Seven species of woodpeckers can be seen and heard along the trail (spillkråka, gråspett, Gröngöling, större hackspett, mellanspett, mindre hackspett and göktyta). Other interesting forest birds include morkulla, svartvit flugsnappare, grönsångare, brandkronad kungsfågel, talltita, svartmes, tofsmes, Mindre korsnäbb, dubbeltrast and sparvuggla. The semi-open patches provide habitat for trädpiplärka, törnskata, turturduva, gräshoppsångare, lövsångare, svarthakad buskskvätta and gulsparv. korp and svart stork are visitors. Along the river, kungsfiskare, strömstare and forsärla can be encountered.
