Historical land use
In the 17th and 18th centuries, unlike today, the area was completely free of forest and used as a hay meadow. It was not until the end of the 18th century that the first oaks took root. Meadow farming ceased some way into the 20th century and the area became pasture instead and has been used as such until today.
Beautiful spring flora and sweet birdsong
Lindholmen is characterised by its rich spring flora. In the spring, the ground is covered with wood anemones, and it is during this period that the area is at its most beautiful. In spring, the area is also home to wood anemone, nunwort, lily of the valley, water lily and lungwort. In late summer, heathland plants such as toothwort, horsetail, spearwort and cowslip flower. The south-western part of the reserve is a little more open, with a number of species common in unfertilised meadows and pastures. The rare orchid Adam and Eve thrives here, as well as bromeliads and sedges. Lindholmen has a rich bird life. Many species of birds can be heard singing from the trees. If you are lucky, you may see the stone-curlew, which is a yellow-and-white finch with a very strong beak.
Regular care
Lindholmen is regularly maintained by clearing hazel bushes and undergrowth. In the centre of the hill, where it is most overgrown, space has been left for shade plants and plants and trees have been allowed to grow relatively freely. Further down towards the shoreline, the trees have been thinned out to give the impression of meadows and pastures. In the south-western part of the reserve there is a beach meadow. During certain periods of the year there are grazing animals in the reserve. Grazing is important for preserving the ancient meadow flora.
