Nature reserve
ATTENTION
The reserve is strongly affected by the spruce bark beetle. Avoid areas with many dead spruces. They can easily fall, especially during strong winds.
Encompassed by floating mats of vegetation, the small lake of Grundsjön is nestled in the middle of a large bog. Cranes nest here, and the surrounding forest contains plenty of old, often dead, fallen trees that attract special beetles, fungi and woodpeckers. There are even owls and grouse, such as the western capercaillie and the black grouse.
Raised wooden walkways and easy walking paths curve around the lake and out over damp areas where one can find cloudberries and cranberries. Wild rosemary also grows here, as well as round-leaved sundew and a diversity of orchids. One can choose to walk a short or a long loop. There is an excellent view over the lake from a tower to the south.
The Grundsjömossarnas nature reserve is located approximately 6.6 km west of Hallstavik.
By car: From Hallstavik, take Route 76 towards Uppsala. Park at the parking lot north of Västerbacken.
