Description
The Borgskogen nature reserve is located north of Lake Storsjön in Norrtälje municipality, and is made up of mostly untouched forest, with a mix of coniferous and deciduous trees. The rare three-toed woodpecker has been observed here.
A pine forest on exposed bedrock transitions into wet depressions with spruce and swamp forests. There is plenty of dead wood here where many rare and endangered fungi and lichens thrive.
The reserve is relatively inaccessible and there are no facilities for visitors apart from informational signs.
