Muddus National Park, National park in Norrbotten County, Sweden.
Muddus National Park is a forest reserve in northern Sweden featuring extensive wetlands, water features, and deep ravines. The park contains old pine trees alongside varied bog ecosystems and different forest types.
The park was established in 1942 to protect ancient pine forests that had survived natural fires over centuries. This designation helped preserve one of Sweden's most notable old forest areas.
This land has long been home to Sami communities who raise reindeer here as part of their way of life. Their presence and practices are woven into the daily rhythm of the region.
The park is accessible through several marked hiking trails ranging from easy to moderate difficulty. Basic forest shelters with sleeping areas and cooking facilities offer simple accommodation for overnight stays.
The park contains a pine tree older than 700 years, making it one of Europe's oldest trees of its kind. This single tree holds a story spanning centuries of forest change and natural cycles.
