Hovfjället, Nature reserve in Torsby Municipality, Sweden
The 1,400-hectare reserve contains old forests, wetlands, and steep terraced formations with diverse plant communities across different elevation zones.
Established on November 7, 1969, Hovfjället maintains sections of ancient forest that remain untouched, preserving natural characteristics of Swedish woodland landscapes.
The reserve functions as a sanctuary for forest-dependent birds, including capercaillie, hazel grouse, Siberian jay, and three-toed woodpecker species.
Visitors access multiple marked trails such as Torprundan and Råkullsrundan, with designated rest areas at Baggtjärn, Råkullstjärn, and Bondfugestorp.
The site combines protected natural areas with winter sports facilities, featuring 15 downhill slopes, six lifts, and 20 kilometers of cross-country skiing tracks.
