Good advice on the tour**
The route is easily wandered and goes through a flat landscape. We recommend that you have robust shoes and even long trousers. Although the grass along the joint is betaped by sheep, the proximity to the river makes the grass often damp.
Excellent salmon and trout stock
The vast biological value of the elve is mainly in the unique salmon and trout stock. The wild Gullspångslaxen and trout are dependent on the play areas of the Big and Little Yearåsforsarna. The bottom fauna in Åråsforsarna is considered to have high or very high natural value. Both the Gullspångslaxen and the trout are of national interest and very protective. Among other fish species found in the river can be mentioned asp, perch, pike, lake, id, mice and eel. Stensimpa is probably the most numerous fish species in the rapids.
Fauna in the area...**
The fish fauna in the estuary area is arthritic and covers most of the species in Vänern. The bird fauna in the area is polite, especially down at Åråsviken. Characteristic hedge birds here are pipe singers, squats, beard dipping and sothöna. In the large leaf vase area northeast of St. Harsholmen are nesting sites for special protective species such as pipe drums, brown cartridge, trash singers and beard mes. Kungsfisher made breeding attempts at the river.
** and flora**
The tree and bush layer along the beaches mainly consists of calibbal, birch and salix species. Along a few sections there are grazed strings and haglands with natural anxiety vegetation with a vigorous protective flora.
Cultural history remains
The area is rich in cultural historical remains, including several bargains for stone axes and other prehistoric objects along the shores of the river. At Amneholm, at the mouth of the river, there are remains of a castle plant in the form of regrown elevations. The trail follows along with the Gullspångsälven.
