Description
The
Ránesvárre Nature Reserve offers a stunning mix of forested mountains and vast
wetlands, making it an important refuge for birds, animals, and plants.
While
the wetlands can be difficult to traverse in summer, they are perfect for
skiing during late winter. The reserve’s mountains, Björkberget and Granberget,
feature ancient forests on their upper slopes, dominated by spruces and
300-year-old pines.
A wildfire in 1933 created a unique birch forest on
Granberget, covering an area equivalent to 3,600 football fields.
The wetland
landscape is diverse, with several unique types of mires, providing valuable
habitats and a fascinating natural setting.

Directions
The nature reserve is located about 45 km northeast of
Jokkmokk. There are several forest roads leading to the reserve's boundary. One
of the more suitable access routes to reach the forested areas is via the main
road through Messaure. From Messaure, drive northeast towards Nietsavare (road
818), then turn east towards Högträsk (road 814).
After about 4 km, a gravel
road branches off to the north, passing through the western part of the reserve
and ending at a turning point (the right one). If you use any of the other
roads, you will mainly reach the wetland areas. The condition of the roads
cannot be guaranteed.
