Järvafältet, Green space in Stockholm County, Sweden
Järvafältet is a green space area across Stockholm County spanning multiple municipalities with diverse landscape features throughout. Forests, meadows, and wetlands create interconnected sections linked by walking and cycling paths accessible from nearby neighborhoods and transit stations.
The area served as a military training ground starting in the early 1900s until the middle of the century. After military use ended, the land was gradually returned to public use and redeveloped as an open space network.
Local residents and nature enthusiasts regularly visit to observe wildlife and plants in their natural state throughout the year. The open spaces and woods serve as a common gathering place where people connect with the landscape on foot and by bicycle.
Best explored during daylight hours with multiple entry points from surrounding neighborhoods and public transit locations throughout the area. Wear appropriate footwear as path conditions vary by season and weather.
A small stream called Igelbäcken flows through the area providing habitat for uncommon fish species rarely found elsewhere in the region. This waterway creates a connecting corridor allowing animals to move between different sections of the landscape.
