Sörknatten, Nature reserve in Åmål and Bengtsfors municipalities, Sweden

The reserve extends across varied landscapes containing quartzite bedrock formations, mountain ridges, forests, and wetlands between Lakes Djup and Ånimmen.

Established on April 6, 1981, the reserve transformed from agricultural land into a protected area to maintain the environmental integrity of its ecosystems.

The nature reserve gained recognition as a filming location for the adaptation of Astrid Lindgren's story Ronia, the Robber's Daughter.

A marked 6.5-kilometer hiking trail connects two parking areas at the northern and southern ends, with stairs installed at steep sections.

The distinctive mountain ridges, known locally as knattar, reach heights between 50 and 142 meters above sea level, forming long elevated chains.
