Garphyttan National Park

The national park spans 1.11 square kilometers of mixed deciduous and coniferous forests, with meadows containing hepaticas, wood anemones, cowslips, and lilies of the valley.

Established on June 21, 1909, Garphyttan originated from Östra Gården, one of four estates in the Svenshyttan area that belonged to mine owners.

The meadowlands within the park demonstrate traditional Swedish agricultural practices through annual haymaking activities that maintain the historical landscape.

A dedicated path leads to open meadowland areas with wheelchair and stroller accessibility, allowing visitors of all mobility levels to experience the natural environment.

The coniferous sections of the forest develop without human intervention, preserving dead and aging trees that support rare species of plants and animals.
