Gässlösa

In the summer, when the canopy blocks out a lot of the sunlight, the ground is covered of less light-demanding species, such as various ferns.

Various species of birds live in the nature reserve, such as European pied flycatcher, Eurasian nuthatch, great tit, marsh tit, blue tit, green woodpecker, black woodpecker and great spotted woodpecker.

It was replaced by a new watermill at Hovgård in the western part of the current nature reserve.

By damming up the stream and lead the water through a canal and a wooden tube, a drop height of 31.9 meters, one of the highest in southern Sweden, was created.

Because of the dam at Hovgård, salmon and brown trout were prevented from reproducing in the stream.

In the fall it was clear that the salmon had reproduced again at the original areas, which was not possible for hundreds of years because of the dams.
