Hunnabacken

Welcome to Hunnabacken Nature Reserves

Hunnabacken constitutes the remains of an old cultural landscape. Until the early 20th century, Linderödsåsen was an extensive open landscape with heath and pastures. The character of the ridge has changed slowly over time. Fields and forests have taken over, and the rough grazings have become rare jewels in the landscape.

Biological cultural heritage

Walk in the terrain and experience a living museum. Discover the history of the landscape by spotting differences between the various parts of the reserve.

Boulders and tussocks. Dry and wet.

The plough has never worked this land. It has been kept open by grazing. The occasional trees have offered shade and protection for the animals. The diversity of plants can only be found in rough grazings. The floral splendour, in turn, attracts butterflies and birds.

Green fields with fewer flowers and often surrounded by stone walls are interspersed in the pastureland. They remind us of hard work and toil. The stones were removed, the land was ploughed and harvests were brought in. Today, this land is grazed, and plants such as harebell, leopard’s bane and lousewort have been able to immigrate from the surrounding rough grazings.
