Description
Below the high southern mountain slope there is a curtain of deciduous woods with broad-leafed trees by the golf course. On the precipices of the southern part of the mountain there is a good microclimate. In combination with calcareous soil, ideal conditions have been created for one of the Stockholm areas’s most excellent and diverse plant locations. Among the unusual species, great wood vetch and ivy can be mentioned. The growth location for ivy is already mentioned in Doctor Johan Linder’s "Flora Wiksbergensis" from 1716.
The rare cyano lichen Lobaria amplissima was found in the reserve during the spring of 2000. No earlier finds of this lichen have been reported from the county.
