Storskogen

Decision year: 2010

Size: 6 km²

Municipality: Krokom

Administrator: County Administrative Board of Jämtland

Protection area: Nature reserve

The reserve is located five miles northwest of Krokom, at the northwestern end of Lake Landögssjön. From Vejmon or Rönnöfors you drive onto the road towards Jänsmässholmen. After 1.3 kilometers, however, you turn left onto a forest road and then turn right when the road splits.

Welcome to Storskogen. Please note that within the reserve it is not allowed to:

• capture, disturb or harm mammals, birds, frogs and reptiles, damage their nests and spawning grounds or collect eggs
• picking and collecting any species except berries and edible mushrooms
• climbing nest trees or deliberately staying closer than 100 m to a bird of prey's nest, roost or burrow
• damaging the ground, boulders, vegetation, dry trees or other dead wood
• make fires, except in specially designated places, if available
• drive a motorized vehicle off-road throughout the area
• without the county administrative board's permission, carry out both commercial and non-commercial organized activities, such as sports events, tourist activities, hunting tests, visits by large groups, recurring events, etc. The permit requirement does not apply to groups with fewer than 15 participants or to school classes or pre-school groups that only engage in traditional hiking or touring on occasion.

Other rules apply if you want to conduct any kind of activity in the area, see the relevant reserve decision for full regulations. There may also be other laws to take into account, such as the Reindeer Husbandry Act.
