Descrição
Glaskogens Naturreservat is a vast, quiet wilderness area with forests, long ridges, and a lot of water. It covers roughly 29,000 hectares. The area is in a hilly landscape and has several lakes. The two largest lakes are Stora Gla and Övre Gla. Many trails run through the reserve, connecting viewpoints, lakeshores, and old forest stands, while the waterways form a canoe network of around 150 kilometres.
With a lot of luck you can find rare birds like Coruja-lapónica, Mocho-pigmeu, Galo-lira or Tetraz. More common species include Pato-olho-d'ouro, Mobêlha-árctica, Pica-pau-preto, Dom-fafe, Bútio-vespeiro, Corvo, Papa-moscas-cinzento and Grou-comum. Quebra-nozes also lives in the area but can be hard to spot.
