In this area, the removal of risky spruce bark beetle infested spruces around trails and facilities
Since 2018, many spruce trees in this area have been exposed to drought stress, storms and spruce bark beetle. As a result, a lot of trees are at risk of falling over the area's trails.
To prevent damage and blockage of the trails, the County Administrative Board has made the assessment that spruces need to be felled. The felled spruces are left lying next to the trail as dead wood, for the benefit of the forest's biodiversity.
The work is planned to take place mainly during the spring winter of 2022. Until the work has taken place, we appeal to the reserve's visitors to avoid the trail in windy weather.
We also hope for understanding from the reserve's visitors that it can be messy around the trail for a while.
Description
This parking lot has room for three cars. You can take the trail from the parking lot to the nature reserve.
There is a sign by the parking lot which has information about the reserve.
