Jaktstuguskogen

The 52.8-hectare reserve contains a 120-year-old spruce forest with undulating terrain, lower-lying areas, and numerous standing dead trees.

In 1919, Eric von Rosen, owner of Rockelstad Castle, requested the declaration of the area as a natural monument, establishing the first reserve in Södermanland.

The land served as pasture grounds from the 18th century until the late 19th century before its transformation into a protected natural area.

A 2.5-kilometer trail leads visitors from the parking area to Jaktstugusjön Lake, with restrictions on camping and fire-making to protect wildlife.

The reserve houses fifteen red-listed species of mosses and fungi, along with multiple woodpecker species that inhabit the old-growth forest sections.
