Björnlandet National Park

The 11-square-kilometer park contains steep ravines, precipices, and extensive primeval forest areas with both spruce and pine trees throughout the landscape.

The Swedish government established Björnlandet National Park on February 7, 1991, to protect the region's valuable natural resources and old-growth forests.

The park stands within traditional Sami territory, reflecting centuries of indigenous presence and their relationship with the northern Swedish landscape.

Visitors can access two hiking cabins equipped with basic amenities, including six beds, cooking equipment, wood stoves, and kerosene lamps for overnight stays.

Natural streams and lakes within the park provide drinking water with a distinct brown color from humus, while a cold spring at Angsjön offers clear water.
