Store Mosse National Park

Store Mosse ("Big Marsh") is a national park in Småland in southern Sweden, located in the municipalities of Vaggeryd, Gnosjö and Värnamo. In total Store Mosse covers some 100 km2; of these, some 77 km2 were designated national park in 1983.

It has the largest boggy grounds south of Lapland and is an important area for birds and provides unique habitats for other animals and plants. The park has over 40 km of walking trails, three cabins available for overnight stay and a large bird watching tower.

Access to the park is free; guided tours are available all summer. There are also guided snowshoe tours on the bog in the summer.

Store Mosse National Park lies in the South Swedish highlands and the South Småland peneplain.

The area is not to be confused with Store Mosse nature reserve, an area in Blekinge of the same name. The name is shared by another nature reserve in Uddevalla.
