Declared in 1982, Store Mosse protects the largest open peat bog in western Europe outside the Arctic, a peat-accumulating ecosystem formed over thousands of years that acts as an important natural carbon sink. Its raised boardwalks let visitors cross the wetland without damaging the delicate sphagnum, and the birdwatching tower beside the main entrance has an accessible lift, which is unusual in nature trail infrastructure.
Ecosystems found in Sweden, where Store Mosse lies.
