About the museum
Naturum Store Mosse lies at the main entrance to Store Mosse National Park, which was established in 1982 and is the largest bog area in southern Sweden. The national park is managed by the County Administrative Board of Jönköping County.
At the naturum visitors can learn more about the park and the life in it, get tips on natural areas and take a break during their walk. Nearby is the Stora fågeltornet (Great Bird Tower), which is twelve metres high and has a view over Kävsjön and the gungflyet (quaking bog), as well as Skogstrollens stig, a 500-metre fairy-tale path.
