Brattforsheden, Nature conservation area in Värmland County, Sweden
Brattforsheden spans across five distinct nature reserves, featuring winding watercourses, glacial hollows, steep ridges, and ravines spread over extensive terrain.
Archaeological discoveries including grave mounds and hunting pits indicate human presence in the area since the Bronze Age, showing early settlement patterns.
The military site Krigsflygfält 16 Brattfors stands as a remnant of World War II mobilization, displaying the intersection of military history and natural preservation.
The conservation area contains 75 kilometers of marked hiking trails, with shelters for cooking and overnight stays positioned at strategic locations throughout the reserves.
The sandy soil conditions support specific wildlife adaptations, including sand lizards and nightjars that thrive in the open forest spaces.
