Jegricka Nature Park

Jegricka Nature Park is a protected area along the Jegricka River spanning several municipalities in the Backa region. The landscape combines wetlands, forests, and waterways that create varied habitats for plant and animal life.

The area first appeared on maps in 1762 as a connected system of ponds and waterways in historical county records. The region has since become an established wetland of significant ecological value.

This nature park holds deep meaning for local residents who have fished and farmed its surroundings for generations. The area represents a living landscape where traditional practices and natural rhythms remain part of everyday life.

The park can be accessed through several entry points, with an information center nearby offering guidance and tours. The best visiting conditions depend on seasonal changes and weather, so it helps to check conditions before you go.

The park features vast carpets of white water lilies that create a striking visual display during warmer months. It is also home to otters and the Ferruginous duck, a species facing conservation concerns.
