Baståsen nature reserve
Ånimskog
Baståsen nature reserve consists of a steep slope, covered with broad-leaved forest all the way down to the lake Ärr. The name Baståsen originates from when the area was used for collection of raffia (in Swedish: Bast). The 4.8 hectare small reserve has a lot of botanical values, due to the slopes and the sensitive flora the area maintains. Caution is advised to all hikers.
Baståsen is also one of the richest places in Dalsland for mollusk that lives on land, and many of these species, especially those who are rare, need long continuity of their environment and are sensitive to changes in the ecosystem.
