Hamra nationalpark

Walking among the ancient pines feels like travelling back in time, to the forest as it once was. With its old‑growth and natural forests, and the largely untouched Svartåmyran mire and the Svartån stream, Hamra is a unique part of the landscape in this region of Sweden. Here you’ll find pristine mires and lichen‑draped old forests with trees more than 400 years old.
