National Park Åsnen

The 18.68 square kilometer park contains a thousand islands spread across Lake Åsnen, featuring deciduous forests, mixed woodlands, and extensive marshlands.

Established in April 2018 as Sweden's 30th national park, the protected area encompasses territories within both Alvesta and Tingsryd municipalities.

The landscape reflects centuries of local forestry practices, with traditional land management methods shaping the current composition of oak woodlands.

Four designated parking areas connect to hiking trails, while the main entrance at Sunnabron provides access to the nature reserve Hunshult.

The park's waters house twenty fish species, including the rare gudgeon, while over a hundred protected animal and plant species inhabit its diverse ecosystems.
