”Limes
norrlandicus”
Throughout the area runs the natural border for the northern section of
Sweden, ”limes norrlandicus,” as the Swedish botanist Linneaus called
it. Northern and southern species of both the flora and the fauna meet
here. The western part of the national park contains mires and coniferous
forests of a northern character. Down the river the landscape is more
lush, with old deciduous trees like oak and lime. There are more than
200 islands, islets and skerries here. |
