Stockholmsgata, Nature reserve in Anundsjö District, Sweden.
Stockholmsgata is a 148-hectare nature reserve and Natura 2000 area in Åsele and Örnsköldsvik municipalities, with 119 hectares in Åsele and 29 in Örnsköldsvik. It is dominated by a canyon about 50 metres deep and 1.5 kilometres long, cut into bedrock.
Stockholmsgata's canyon was carved about 9,400 years ago by a glacial river that cut through the bedrock. The reserve later became a Natura 2000 site, with parts included since 2006. It now spans 148 hectares, 119 in Åsele Municipality and 29 in Örnsköldsvik Municipality.
The name Stockholmsgata comes from visitors who thought the tall cliff walls resembled the alleys of Gamla stan in Stockholm. Near Uvtjärn in the southern part stands a small rest and overnight cabin that the artist Folke Ricklund used as a studio. The Lappmarksleden trail reaches the southern entrance.
