Midsummer time the northern bogs will change of brief duration into whitemottled - as it were snow... Among others the ears hare's-tail of cottongrass (Eriophorum vaginatum) and the flowers of marsh ledum (Ledum palustre) and cloudberry (Rubus chamemorus) give off its white colour to the landscape.

In the same time cranesbill (Geranium silvaticum) and red campion (Silene dioica) will tint
the banks into purple, and for one buttercup (Ranunculus) and globe flower (Trollius europaea)
will decorate the fields to yellow...

The shore proffer diverse living possibilities. On the shore zone you can see various life form, whom are uncommon on other places
(among others mire- and shore species).
