About

Ängelholm&´s beach forest with its mighty dunes has become a nature reserve. The long sandy beaches with the tall dunes and pine forests just before them offer a popular open-air area which is widely used for bathing and hiking. It is also a unique natural area with north-west Skånes only cohesive dune landscape. Most of the nature reserve is wooded dunes. There are remains of the protective forest planted along the coasts during the 19th century to reduce sand removal. Closer to the sea there are woodless, rolling dunes, where unfortunately poppy and mountain pine have taken over. Since 2008 work has been ongoing on rebuilding the dunes with mosaics of open sand and grassland heath with rice vegetation. The sand removal is no longer a threat and by clearing the poppies, birch and pine, the original dune landscape can be restored. Hopefully, tawny pipits and other typical species will return to the area.
