Judarskogen, Nature reserve in Bromma district, Stockholm, Sweden
Judarskogen is a nature reserve in Stockholm's Bromma district, made up of a lake, wetlands, meadows, and mixed forest. A network of walking paths connects all these sections and allows visitors to move between the different types of terrain.
The area was set up as a nature park in the early 1900s and received official nature reserve status in 1995. In 2022, it was also designated as an Urban Quiet Park.
The name of the reserve comes from Lake Judarn, which is linked to an old word describing natural sounds in the landscape. Walking through the forest, visitors can notice how the place still lives up to that description.
Some parts of the reserve are wet and uneven, so sturdy footwear is a good idea before heading in. Information signs along the trails explain the glacial formations visible in the terrain.
The reserve is home to every amphibian species found in Stockholm, including the crested newt, which is visible during its breeding season. This makes it one of the few places in the city where all these animals can be observed in the same spot.
