Store Mosse National Park

Store Mosse National Park

In Store Mosse National Park, you’ll encounter expansive bogs that truly live up to the name “bog sea.” The landscape feels almost surreal – as if you've been transported to the mountainous north, even though you're still in the heart of Småland.

Naturum

Naturum is the heart of the national park – a place for knowledge and inspiration. It features a large panoramic window for indoor birdwatching, exhibitions, interactive stations, and stories about the bog’s history. Admission is free, and you are welcome to bring your own snacks. There are tables and chairs available, as well as armchairs by the fireplace where you can relax.

Hike Through Store Mosse

The national park offers several hiking trails of varying lengths that allow you to explore the bog’s remarkable plant and animal life. The park is a paradise for birdwatchers. Cranes, whooper swans, black grouse, and various waders are common, while golden eagles and white-tailed eagles are regularly seen throughout the year.

The Forest Trolls’ Trail

The Forest Trolls’ Trail is located about 100 meters from the main parking lot and is a favorite among children. It’s a 500-meter loop where kids of all ages follow a fairytale and search for the missing troll. The trail is gravelled and suitable for strollers. Naturum is about 30 meters from the trailhead. At the beginning of the trail, there is also a barbecue area with a wood supply.

The Large Birdwatching Tower

The large birdwatching tower is located about 150 meters from the parking lot at the main entrance. The tower stands twelve meters tall and offers a beautiful view over Lake Kävsjön and the quaking bog. There is an elevator to the first floor, where you'll find a glass-enclosed panoramic room featuring a small exhibition about Kävsjön. There's also a hand-cranked audio player that plays different bird calls.
