Koppången

Koppången encompasses 4,936 hectares of mire complex with small lakes, peatlands, and forests dominated by Norway spruce trees in the European Boreal region.

The nature reserve, established in March 1999, contains ancient mires dating back to 4500 BC and represents one of Sweden's most substantial mire territories.

Local communities have integrated the reserve into their traditional practices through activities such as haymaking, contributing to the preservation of regional customs.

Visitors can stay without charge at the Blomtäkt cabin in the center of the reserve, where they need to chop firewood for the available fireplace.

The reserve maintains one of Scandinavia's largest bear populations and supports nationally protected species including the ruff, wolverine, and Eurasian lynx.
