Björnlandet National Park

Sweden

Björnlandet is a national park in Västerbotten County, northern Sweden. It was established in 1991 and covers an area of 11km2. Geographically it lies in southernmost Lappland, about 30km southwest of the hamlet (locality) of Fredrika, in Åsele Municipality. The park is notable for its large primeval forest and a geography that is distinguished by steep ravines and precipices. The fauna is comparatively of lower interest, due to the harsh climate and environment.
