- Land-use history: Trees have been felled for charcoal to be used in the neighbouring furnace since the 16th century. At the IM site eight "charcoal bottoms" have been traced, several of them with remnants of cabins. The present stands are about 95 years old, probably sown since the latest clear-felling in the early 1900th century. In the upper part there are a few larch trees.
