Dröstorpmossen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dröstorpmossen is a bog on the Swedish island of Öland in the Baltic Sea .

The moor is located in the northern part of the Stora Alvaret in the south of the island. The name is derived from the place Dröstorp , which was located north of the moor, but which became desolate at the end of the 19th century .

Dröstorpmossen has open water areas. In the middle of the moor is an island, the area of ​​which has increased in the past. In order to preserve the moor, attempts are made to counteract this silting up and to expand the area of ​​the open water.

There are several rare species in the bog, such as the water cress and the floating celery . Also Harrier and Black Tern are present.
