Naturreservatet Hälleskogsbrännan, Nature reserve near Virsbo, Sweden.
The protected area spans 6,420 hectares across three municipalities, featuring lakes, burned forest zones, and ecological monitoring stations throughout the terrain.
The Swedish authorities established this nature reserve in February 2016 following a substantial forest fire that affected the Västmanland region in 2014.
Scientists from Swedish universities conduct research programs in the reserve to study ecological recovery patterns and document changes in plant and animal populations.
Visitors can access multiple entry points, including Hörnsjöfors and Seglingsberg, with facilities at Grävlingsberget offering toilets, classroom spaces, and observation tower.
The reserve contains specialized cameras that track wildlife activities and record the gradual transformation of vegetation in post-fire conditions.
