Töfsingdalens Nationalpark

Töfsingdalens National Park was established early, in 1930. Old pine trees grow here among large boulders and in a very difficult terrain.

Together with the adjacent protected areas Rogen in Jämtland and Femundmarka in Norway, Gränslandet forms a large area with high natural values that are also significant for outdoor activities. Töfsingdalen is a wilderness with vast boulder fields and ancient forest. The terrain is challenging, with a valley between two low mountain ranges. Many trees are up to 500 years old, and the forest has a silver-gray hue due to the presence of dead trees. The rare and toxic wolf lichen grows on the trees in the primeval forest. The area is difficult to access for humans due to large boulders in the ground, so it's best to stick to the trail. This benefits shy creatures like bears, wolverines and golden eagles. Occasionally, you might even spot a wolf if you follow the hiking trails from Grövelsjön or Storån.
