An ancient glacial landscape. Knuthöjdsmossen nature reserve, Sweden

Discover the enchanting Knuthöjdsmossen nature reserve, which covers almost 250 acres (100 hectares) near Hällefors city in Sweden. This tranquil haven features a loop on boardwalks that meanders through the bog, showcasing several small lakes, sand dunes, marshes and pines. Parts of the loop are accessible by wheelchair and pram.

The landscape is shaped by the last inland ice that melted around 10,000 years ago, leaving behind moraine (accumulation of unconsolidated debris) and glacial river sand. The reserve's largest sand dune is the 10-metre-tall Stora Hälleforsdynen. The sand dunes are home to many unique insects. A particularly rare grey ant, Formica cinerea, is present in this area. Birdwatchers will be delighted by the diverse avian population, including the red-throated diver, northern lapwing, green sandpiper and common goldeneye. The most common trees in the park are pines, but various shrubs can also be found, such as dwarf birch, crowberry and wild rosemary. Knuthöjdsmossen is an ideal destination for nature lovers and those seeking a serene escape.
