The pits are crater-like depressions after icebergs that are embedded in the sand. The word "death" comes from the fact that the iceberg is stuck in the bottom and can not move, unlike the inland ice which was constantly a mass and is therefore called "living ice". The largest and deepest pits have small lakes. Sundstjärn has turquoise water due to the presence of a phytoplankton in the water. Around the Alster stars and west towards Sundstjärnen grow older pine forests.
The reserve was formed to preserve the Kittelfält surface shapes. The purpose is also to preserve forest resources intact because of their educational significance for understanding the natural phenomenon. The area is part of the EU's valuable nature network, Natura 2000.
In the meres grow leafs and on the peat fields you can see the skull and dwarf birch. Matt and plate luminaries are found sparingly in the area, as well as the rare semi-grass plate starr.
The bird's nest includes wood-tree, night-cut, tree trunk and counting. Sometimes smolom and bigworm can make short visits to the ponds. Kneading with kids you can see in the larger ponds.
Directions:
Take road 63 between Karlstad and Filipstad. Road signs are available to the reserve about 4 km south of Brattfors. There is a parking each in the northern and southern part.
