Svarte mosse, Nature reserve and hiking trails in northern Gothenburg, Sweden.

Svarte mosse is a nature reserve in northern Gothenburg featuring wetlands, peat bogs, and woodland paths. The area is crossed by marked trails that traverse different terrain and offer options for various fitness levels.

Svarte mosse was originally a marshy area. After repeated drownings over the years, it was decided to excavate the wetland to create a lake, and fish were stocked at the same time. The lake has since become overgrown again, but pike and carp remain.

Svarte mosse takes its name from the dark bog that once covered the site; the present lake was dug out after repeated drownings in the marsh, and fish were stocked at the same time. On Väderlekstorget square stands a bronze statue from 1957 of three playing children who drowned in the moss after their homemade raft began to leak.

The lake lies in Biskopsgården on Hisingen, within the Göta älv–Bäveån coastal area. The bronze statue of three playing children who drowned in Svarte mosse stands on Väderlekstorget, a short walk from the water.
