Warning!
The reserve has scattered infestations of spruce bark beetle. This means that there are a lot of dead standing spruces in the forest and along the paths.
The trees can fall suddenly and without warning. Keep an eye out and avoid visiting the reserve when it is windy!
Description
The Karlsdalsmossen nature reserve encompasses a large continuous natural area of forests and wetlands. Here, you can find swamps, open wetlands, bogs and fens with old trees and lots of dead wood.
Some of the oldest pine trees in the Roslagen region are found here around Lake Långsjön. Within these old forests, you may see rare fungi, hack marks from the Eurasian three-toed woodpecker or hear the call of the black woodpecker.
There are no facilities for visitors.
