Dumme mosse

The raised bog extends across 29 square kilometers, featuring diverse landscapes of bare bogs, wooded fens, open meadows, and swamp forests with stunted pines.

Archaeological discoveries indicate ancient travelers used a sandbank running through the southern section as a passage route, including evidence of a plank road underneath.

The preservation of Dumme mosse demonstrates Swedish environmental protection methods, maintaining natural wetlands while allowing controlled public access for recreation.

Located 7 kilometers from Jönköping, the reserve offers 10 kilometers of trails, including 5 kilometers of wheelchair-accessible paths with rest areas and fire pits.

The reserve houses numerous bird species, including Eurasian curlew, golden plover, wood sandpiper, and crane populations in nutrient-poor, acidic conditions.
