Other Site Characteristics

The National Park Färnebofjärden is situated in the lower part of river Dalälven in the Counties of Västmanland, Dalarna and Gävleborg, central-eastern Sweden. In this part River Dalälven has no real river channel as it is a young river formed after the last glacial period. The national park is characterized of a flat and open landscape, where the river is widening, forming broad and shallow pools with an inland archipelago. The river is bordered by extensive wetlands, coniferous forests and decidous swamp forest . Because of the flat landscape, flooding is common, particularly in spring. The site is covered by the special provisions in the Swedish Environmental Code, Chapter 4 on management of land and water for certain areas in Sweden: provisions on prohibition of exploitation for hydro-electricity purposes (Chapter 4, § 6 in the Environmental Code). There is no code (protection type) available under field 5.1 to register this kind of general protection.

4.2 Quality and importance

The lower part of the River Dalälven coinsides with Limes Norrlandicus, the ecological borderline between the vegetation types of the northern and southern parts of Sweden. Because of this and because of the frequently flooding, a multitude of habitats and vegetation types is present. Among the vegtation types are mires, riverside meadows, birch and alder fens, marsh meadows, peat bogs and shore fens. The riverside meadows and broad mires have for centuries served as important sourses of hay for nearby villages. The frequent flooding create a clear zonation in the vegetation. A major part of the forests near the water body are virgin and extensively managed, with a large number of deciduous trees, large pine trees, tall tree stumps, dead and dying trees. The flora and fauna is rich and diverse with a large number of rare and red-listed species. The bird-life is particularly interesting. More than 160 red-listed species have been found in the National Park. The River Dalälven area is one of the most interesting parts of central Sweden because of the very special and spectacular nature. Because of the wilderness character of the site, the diverse fauna and attractive landscape, the area is a well-known and important place for bird-watching, hiking, canoeing and fishing. Färnebofjärden is of national interest to environmental care. It is promoted as a Ramsar Wetland area and it is a National Park established in 1998.

Yes Name: Färnebofjärden
Link: http://skyddadnatur.naturvardsverket.se/

No, but in preparation
No

6.3 Conservation measures (optional)

The major part of the National Park is intended to free development, but a comprehensive plan for the management has been prepared. The regularly flooded riverside meadows have formerly been indispensible for hay-making, an activity there is no need of today. To prevent these riverside meadows from beeing overgrown with bushes and broad-leaved trees regular hay-making is necessary.
