Femundsmarka National Park

The national park spans 573 square kilometers across central Norway with numerous lakes, marshes, pine forests, and birch trees throughout the terrain.

The park received national park status in 1971 to safeguard the natural lake systems and forests that extend toward the Swedish border.

The area maintains strong connections to Sami traditions, where indigenous communities have long practiced their traditional ways of life.

Visitors need to obtain fishing licenses before angling in the lakes and rivers, which contain substantial populations of trout.

The landscape features characteristics more common to Swedish territories than typical Norwegian terrain, with sparse forests and numerous water bodies.
