Store Mosse National Park

Store Mosse is a national park in southern Sweden covering over 7,700 hectares of wetlands, lakes, and forests. The landscape is one of the country's largest marsh areas, featuring wet zones mixed with forested sections and open water.

The park was established in 1982 to protect the marsh ecosystems and wildlife habitats of the area. The designation marked an important step in preserving this landscape for future generations.

The naturum visitor center displays exhibitions about the local environment and runs educational programs that help people understand the Swedish relationship with nature. Visitors come here to learn why this wetland landscape matters to the region.

Visitors can explore over 40 kilometers of walking trails, with some paths accessible for wheelchairs and a specialized route for blind individuals. The park also has three rental cabins at different locations if you want to stay overnight.

The park is home to bog-dwelling species and rare bird types that are hard to find elsewhere in Sweden. Many visitors miss the observation towers scattered throughout the area, which offer excellent spots to watch animals in their natural habitat.
