All entrance areas with facilities are adapted for accessibility, for example if you use a wheelchair. From the main entrance car park, a wide wooden walkway leads to the entrance and continues for about 500 metres to the viewpoint at Lake Svansjön. There are no steps along the walkway, but it has raised edges on both sides.

Accessibility to the dry toilet, waste bins, picnic tables, shelter, fire pit and trails is best at the main entrance. However, the rest areas and dry toilets at the other entrances are also adapted for accessibility.

The Seasons in Hamra National Park

In winter, the snow can be a metre deep and the landscape becomes soft and sparkling. Few visitors come at this time of year, but it is a magnificent season to experience the mire landscape. On skis or by dog sled, you can easily cross the wetlands. The road to the main entrance is ploughed all winter. The Mire and Svartå entrances are not maintained in winter, so plan those visits for spring, summer or autumn.

Spring arrives with birdsong and sunshine long before the snow has melted in May. It is a wonderful season for skiers, walkers and birdwatchers. Woodpeckers drum, the forest is full of buzzing and chirping life, and migrating birds gather on the mires while black grouse display.

Summer is the busiest time in the national park. In June, the orchid Fragrant Orchid (Gymnadenia) blooms in the small fen meadows near the Svartån river. Insects are at their peak, and in August, cloudberries ripen across the mires.

When autumn arrives, birches light up the landscape with bright yellow colours. Mosquitoes have disappeared, and the air becomes crisp and fresh. The dark evenings are perfect for sitting around a fire, stargazing and watching the northern lights.
