Description
Stormyran Nature Reserve is a vast mire area around some streams. Here you will see a mosaic of different wetland types, waterlogged forests and small lakes. Larger areas are so-called string mires. This is a kind of wetland typical to Norrbotten, with dry strings alternating with wet flarks. In spring, the area closest to Spadnovarebäcken stream floods and large numbers of birds rest in the area. In the past, settlers made hay on the mire. Traces of mire haymaking can be seen to this day in the form of hay racks, barns and haymakers’ hut. The area is 20 square kilometres in size.
