Store Mosse National Park

Store Mosse is southern Sweden's largest marsh area.

The designation marshland sea is no exaggeration. Store Mosse offers impressive expanses, reminiscent of the mountains. The nature that can be found at Store Mosse is characterised by a great diversity in both animal and plant kingdoms, with everything from lakes and marshes to cranes, elks and eagles. Here you can hike and discover nature on your own by following one of the hiking trails 

The hiking trails at Store Mosse cross footbridges and vary in length between 500 metres and 14 kilometres. Birdwatchers can choose to walk the circuit around Kävsjön to experience its rich bird life. The 500 metre long fairytale trail - Skogstrollens stig, is a fun alternative for families with children. Along the trail you will come across small trolls, goblins, small animals, birds, butterflies, flowers and lichens. For those who want to experience the more unique features of Store Mosse, we recommend the Lilla Lövö circuit. During the summer, various guided hikes are held on the marsh and in the winter cross-country skiing is available. The guided tour where snowshoes are used is one of the most popular tours during the summer.

For those who are interested in birds or want to enjoy the view, there is a bird watching tower about 150 metres from the large car park lot at the main entrance. The tower is twelve metres high with a lovely view of Lake Kävsjön.

In winter, eagles and other birds of prey feed in the national park. The eagle hide for the public is located along the gravel road Kittlakull – Östra Rockne on the south side of the road. The hide is always open and can be visited all year round.

There is a visitor centre in the park where you can study birds indoors through a large panoramic window. At the visitor centre you can also read about the history of the marsh and take part in various exhibitions and activities.
