A nature reserve with very old coniferous forest
Save
Bottnaryd's primeval forest (Bottnaryds urskog), as the name suggests, is a very old coniferous forest, with pines up to 400 years old. The nature reserve is an area with coniferous forest, marshland, and diverse wildlife and plant life.
The forest consists of dried and fallen trees, which not only testify to bygone times but also play an important role for plant life. The area is not only for those with a keen interest in plants; it also has rich wildlife, and the marshland area is a place where moose and deer often gather.
Södra Vätterleden hiking trail runs through the nature reserve, connecting Mullsjö and Huskvarna. If you are out hiking, remember that it is a nature reserve, so be extra careful with the environment.
If you visit Bottnaryds Urskog during blueberry season, we recommend bringing something to pick blueberries in, as there are many lovely blueberry bushes to gather your blue berries from.
The right of public access (Allemansrätten) allows you to explore Sweden’s nature. This unique privilege is based on shared responsibility, requiring everyone to respect wildlife, nature, landowners, and fellow outdoor enthusiasts.
The usual right of public access does not apply fully in the nature reserve, read more at Länsstyrelsen.
