Hamra National Park is widely known for it’s beauty and biodiversity. Here exist species that have vanished over almost all Scandinavia. The most impressing feature of Hamra National Park is the age of its trees and the rich life of polypores, lichens, mosses and insects that are dependant on old forests.
Description
We meet in Kvarnberg at 13:00 where we get a short introduction about the tour. We leave right away for our first destination, an old mill from 19th century that is on our way to Hamra National Park. Here we have the chance to explore the beautiful surrounding and even the simple mechanism of the mill. Finally we continue by car through wild forests until we reach Hamra National Park. We will follow one of the trails made for visitors and explore the forest with all its details and enjoy the unique atmosphere during about 2 hours. After a short break it is time to leave for our last destination: Pilkalampinoppi. This old fire tower is situated on the top of a mountain and we will have an incredible view over the vast wilderness of Orsa Finnmark. Depending on the weather we might have diner here or at Hamra National Park. We aim to be back at Björn & Vildmark cabins at about 19:00.
