Nature reserve Norrbränningen
Norrbränningens nature reserve is located 8 km southwest of Ljusne and covers 336 ha. There are no maintained paths in the area. On the eastern side it is difficult to get around on the path because of fallen trees.
The whole area is dominated by swollen, large blocky moraine. On the heights, the soil is thin with cold washed rocky areas and shingle fields.
