Jaktstuguskogen Nature Reserve

The nature reserve is dominated by spruce forest. The area contains both low-lying parts and several small hills. The forest is around 120 years old in the lower parts of the reserve but of considerably higher age in other places. There are also bogs and areas of swamp forest in the reserve. The relatively undisturbed old-growth forest contains much decaying wood which provides a habitat for several species of beetles, including the red-listed Mycetina cruciata. Decaying trees, as well as stone blocks, also provide a habitat for mosses and fungi, of which 15 red-listed species have been identified in the nature reserve including Pycnoporellus fulgens, Phellopilus nigrolimitatus and Clavaria fumosa. The reserve also supports a rich bird life, including several woodpecker species.^[1][2] The nature reserve forms part of the EU-wide Natura 2000 network.^[5]

The nature reserve provides the area with protection against exploitation and forestry. The nature reserve is open to visitors, for which a path has been prepared and maintained, but it is forbidden e.g. to pitch a tent, make a fire, ride or in other ways disturb the wildlife within the reserve.^[2][3]

The hunting lodge is a log house designed by architects Ivar Tengbom and Ernst Torulf [sv] in a National Romantic style, intended to resemble a Viking house.^[6] It is decorated with depictions of dragons and Fenrir, as well as swastikas. The lodge lies in a clearing and adjacent to an outhouse and a root cellar. The lodge is a listed building in the buildings database of the Swedish National Heritage Board.^[1][3][7]
