Kronogård, Nature reserve in Jokkmokk Municipality, Sweden
Kronogaard is a protected area in northern Sweden composed of forest, wetlands, and numerous lakes spread across its territory. The landscape features coniferous woodlands interspersed with boggy areas and water bodies of varying sizes.
The site was first established as a domain reserve in 1987 before being reclassified as an official nature reserve in 2000. This upgrade reflected broader efforts to strengthen protection of northern forest and wetland ecosystems.
The area operates under allemansrätten principles, which allow visitors to pick berries and mushrooms freely as part of traditional Nordic practices. This right to roam the land is deeply embedded in Scandinavian culture and shapes how people interact with nature here.
The reserve is accessible from the E45 road via a westward turn near Kittajaur, north of Kalbdalis. Visitors should prepare for rugged terrain, boggy conditions, and changeable weather, especially during wetter months.
The reserve contains over 100 lakes scattered throughout its boundaries, providing extensive opportunities for fishing and wildlife observation across seasons. This concentrated cluster of water bodies is a rare feature in the Swedish sub-Arctic forest zone.
