The most usual heather types are heather and bell heather. On the peatlands stands the cotton grass white and hairy. The areas has for several times been in use for grazing animals. There are remains of shepherd's huts and fenced in areas for sheep. These were used at night for protection against predatory animals, such as wolf. Several hundred of metres of stone fencing show the former barriers. In the area today, you will find 10 km of marked hiking tracks.

Mor Norge/Steinkjerringå
In 1898, the Steinkjerringå (stone statue of a woman) was made by Sigurd Sørensen with the artist name S. Neandros. The monument was originally to be placed in front of Kongsgård school in Stavanger. This never took place however, and in 1924, Emelankton Aadnesen from Nærbø contacted the owner, bricklayer Asbjørn Ellingsen. Subsequently, he was allowed to move the statue to høg-Jæren. In 1925, the neat amount of NOK 550,- was raised for the transport. After two year's of struggle, the statue Mother Norway or popularly called "Steinkjerringå", was on place in Aniksdalsheia. The weight of the statue is around three tons, and had to be divided into three parts during transport.
