Grytans skjutfält

The Grytans shooting field spans across extensive grounds 15 kilometers south of Östersund, featuring multiple training zones and specialized facilities for artillery practice.

Established on May 13, 1893, the range served as the primary training ground for the Norrland Artillery Regiment until 1997, later managed by different military units.

The site includes a camp area with 30 buildings spread over 40 hectares, constructed progressively since 1895 to accommodate military personnel and training activities.

Large sections of the land contain unexploded ammunition from decades of military exercises, necessitating careful management and restricted access protocols.

The field currently hosts an experimental tree planting project using hybrid aspens, designed to rehabilitate the land without disturbing potentially dangerous underground materials.
