Fire wood is missing at the following windshelters right now:
8 Kalven
20 Abbortjärn
36 Holmtjärn*
39 Öjesjön*
44 Svarthagstjärnet*
48 Åltjärn*
49 Holmtjärn*
50 Stora Mörttjärn*
Firewood is delivered continuously. The information ubove is updated as soon as there are changes in the wood supply.
Places marked with * will not have firewood throughout 2023 (due to climate change preventing driving over ice/frozen ground and logging destroying our driveways to the windshelters – however we are working on restoring destroyed roads and finding new ways to get out with firewood).
The wood is often wet this time of year. Take good lighting material with you to start a fire and remember to fire carefully and sparingly.
Best regards, team Glaskogen.
Now moose hunt is going on in Glaskogen and is most intense for the first two weeks. Please dress in a way so you can be seen well, stay on the trails and remember not to disturb the hunt if you come across hunters. And the hunters must take the hikers into account. Such is the Swedish law of public access. Everyone can move freely in nature but must show consideration and not disturb or destroy. Best regards, team Glaskogen
Due to the coming winter we have removed our boats for crossing lake Lelången from the water. They will be back in the lake in spring. Best regards, team Glaskogen
Due to heavy rainfall with elements of thunderstorms and possible storms Arvika Rescue Service advises us not to send out canoeists for the next 1-2 days. Of course we follow the rescue service’s recommendation and follow up the weather forecasts closely. If there are any changes, you will receive more information here.
Rainy greetings from Team Glaskogen
The Kalkningsförbundet announced last night that liming within the Glaskogen nature reserve will take place on Monday, July 31 and possibly Tuesday, August 1. This means low helicopter flights and the deposition of lime over various waters in the Glaskogen.
The helicopterpilots are doing their job carefully and always controll the area if there are any hikers och paddlers before they send down the lime.
Please don’t park your cars at the big lime sacks as the helicopter will go down there to pick up the lime.
The following windshelters don’t have fire wood:
20 Abbortjärn
36 Holmtjärn*
39 Öjesjön
44 Svarthagstjärnet*
48 Åltjärn*

50 Stora Mörttjärn*
We work on getting fire wood to all places continously. But places marked * will not have fire wood during 2023.
Please fire responsively and sparingly.
Best regards, team Glaskogen

In the whole nature reserve Glaskogen, it is now forbidden to make fires with solid fuel (wood, coal, grass, rice and branches). It is still possible to make a fire in our official fireplaces that are marked on our map and with spirit or gas stoves. But be very careful!
Best regards, team Glaskogen
