Moose in Fulufjället National Park Sweden Travel Postcard

Fulufjället National Park, located in Dalarna County in central Sweden near the border with Norway, is a vast and remote mountainous area established in 2002. Covering over 385 square kilometres, it features plateaus, deep valleys, and one of Sweden’s highest waterfalls, Njupeskär, which plunges nearly 93 metres. The park’s landscape is shaped by ancient rocks and glacial activity, creating dramatic cliffs, rivers, and bogs. Fulufjället is also part of a larger transboundary conservation area with Norway’s nearby protected lands, making it a key habitat for Arctic and alpine species. The park is home to diverse wildlife, including moose, wolverines, lynx, and arctic foxes in higher elevations, as well as numerous bird species like the black-throated diver and golden eagle. Visitors can explore marked hiking trails, cross-country skiing routes, and interpretive paths that highlight the park’s unique flora, such as rare mosses and lichens. Its remote location and pristine environment make Fulufjället ideal for those seeking solitude, wildlife observation, and dramatic natural scenery, particularly around Njupeskär waterfall and the surrounding rugged terrain.
