Glaskogen

Glaskogen is a nature reserve in Värmland with extensive forests, hills, and numerous lakes that shape the landscape. Networks of hiking trails and water routes connect these different areas and allow visitors to explore in different ways.

The protected area was established in the 1970s to preserve forest landscapes for the future. Since then, the balance between nature conservation and human use has been actively maintained.

The area has long been a place where people use and respect nature in balance. You can see this relationship everywhere, from the maintained trails to the spots where visitors are allowed to make fires and spend the night.

Visitors should inform themselves upon arrival about where infrastructure like accommodations, fire pits, and toilets are located. It helps to use a map or guide to understand the different routes and areas.

Certain areas are closed during specific months to protect nesting bird species like golden eagles and woodpeckers. These temporary access restrictions show how actively the areas are monitored and managed.
