Description

For those who want to experience a true forest, Ranak Nature Reserve is a must-visit. Here, on the peaks of Stor-Ranak and Lill-Ranak, ancient primeval forest thrives, having developed freely for hundreds of years. This natural forest, with its lichen-covered ancient spruces and majestic giant pines, offers a magical hiking experience in an ecosystem entirely governed by nature's forces.

Ranak's primeval forests are rare and form an island in the managed forest landscape. Historical fires have created a varied environment with trees of different ages, including pines that are up to 500 years old. Dead wood and dry trees provide habitats for rare species like the pine stock borer and a rich flora of wood fungi. In Ranak, there is a unique combination of habitats that benefits both plants and animals, making the area a valuable part of Norrbotten's nature.
