Actions
Currently
Drive carefully. The roads leading to the reserve are currently not in good condition. Please drive carefully. The land owner, Sveaskog, will repair the roads shortly.
Beware of falling trees. Trees in this nature reserve have been affected by spruce bark beetles. There are many dead standing spruces in the forest and along paths. Dead trees may fall suddenly and without warning. Watch out and avoid visiting the nature reserve when it is windy.
Description
The water of Lake Stora Envättern is crystal-clear due to the low nutrient content in the lake. Ospreys are a common sight and black-throated loons breed here. The old pristine forest around the lake is rich in dead wood and rare fungi.
Explore the forest paths or hike the Sörmlandsleden trail along the north side of the lake. Finish the day with a hot meal prepared at one of the fire pits.
Please note that fishing is not allowed.
