Rya Forest, Nature reserve in Gothenburg Municipality, Sweden.
Rya Forest extends across 17 hectares on Hisingen island, featuring marsh forests with alder trees and centuries-old oaks along the Göta River bank.
The forest received official protection through a royal decree in 1928, making it the first nature reserve in Västra Götaland County.
Local environmental organizations coordinate educational programs and guided tours to teach visitors about Swedish flora and conservation practices.
The reserve contains multiple walking paths connecting different sections, making it accessible for nature observation and recreational activities throughout the year.
Despite being surrounded by industrial facilities, including oil refineries, the forest maintains populations of rare insects, lichens, and mosses.
