Geijersdalsmossen Nature Reserve

As with several other bogland areas in the SE corner of Värmland Geijersdalsmossen has a real wilderness feel to it. Its not a huge nature reserve and I dont really know if you could officially call it wilderness, but it has that special feel that only wilderness areas have.

Its also a very interesting area geologically as this represented the southern border for the ice cap over northern Sweden at the end of the last ice age. Just south of here is where the Baltic Sea at one time flowed into the North Sea. Whats left now gives use an insight into what it was like here.

Was here the other week snowshoeing with a group from the Netherlands and to them this was real wilderness. Just the silence alone was enough to amaze them. We were also lucky and were able to track Lynx, Elk (European Moose), Black Grouse and even Pine Martin which I have not earlier seen in this area.

All in all its an excellent place to visit. Close by there are many other nature reserves and interesting places which make this area perfect for a walking holiday!
