Järvsöklacken

The natural forests of Järvsöklacken rise 390 meters above sea level, forming steep slopes that overlook the Ljusnan valley northeast of Järvsö.

The municipal authorities of Ljusdals kommun established this 83-hectare nature reserve on October 5, 2011 to protect its diverse forest ecosystems.

The mountain serves as a reference point for local residents, with trails connecting to Hälsingegården in Kåsjö village across the Ljusnan river.

Visitors can access the reserve through two main routes: a 4-kilometer trail from Hälsingegården or through the village of Klacken.

Scientists have documented eight red-listed species and twenty-one indicator species within the reserve's spruce forests, which contain abundant hanging lichens.
