Botany / Naturreservat
Swedish term or phrase: fuktsänka
The sentence goes: Här kan man vandra länge i ensamhet och stillhet i åldrande lövträdsrika barrskogar, bland stenblock och hällmarker, genom sumpskogar och över kärrstråk och fuktsänkor. En markerad stig utgår från reservatets parkeringsplatser i söder.

Any suggestions appreciated!

marshy hollows
Explanation:
what you use here will depend on how you have phrased the rest of the sentence - for example, if you have already used "marsh" for "kärr" you will want to use something like "damp" here instead.
