Bottnaryd's primeval forest - An untouched glimmer between the trees

Bottnaryds Urskog, just outside Jönköping, is one of the most intact and untouched forests in southern Sweden. Here, visitors get a chance to experience an ancient and wild nature reminiscent of what Swedish forests looked like before man began to influence them. The forest is known for its huge, old trees, moss-covered rocks and rich biodiversity. 

A walk through Bottnaryds Urskogs nature reserve 

In Bottnaryds Urskog you get a unique opportunity to walk through a forest where nature is allowed to follow its own rules. There are tall pines and spruces that are several hundred years old, dead trees that give life to lots of insects and birds. There is a myriad of plants and fungi that thrive in the moist, untouched environment. Bottnaryds Urskog is a place for both nature lovers and those seeking peace and quiet. 

Hike in a forest that bears the roots of history
