By the flood basin

The flood storage basin in front of you remains wet throughout the summer on rainy years. Haircap grows at the bottom of the basin, but peat moss are few. Amongst the plants growing are thread rush, water sedge, and on the edges of the basin willows and bog bilberry.

The other flood storage basin along the pathside is vaster and shallower than the first one. In the spring the water can reach all the way to the path, but it evaporates faster than from the first basin. This is why an aspen forest has formed, and why there are buckthorn bushes among the ground vegetation. Peat moss covers the ground, and there are some grasses as well, but not so many sedges.
