Fulufjellet National Park was established in 2012, covering 82.5 square kilometres of mountain plateau along the Swedish border, north-east of Trysil. The Swedish side has been protected since 2002, making this one continuous cross-border wilderness: one mountain, two national parks.
The main draw on the Swedish side is Njupeskär, Sweden's highest waterfall at 93 metres (70 metres free-falling). The trail from the visitor centre is 4 km each way, well marked and manageable for most walkers. The visitor centre (Naturum) is on the Swedish side and sells fishing licenses and maps.
On the Norwegian side, the landscape is wilder and less visited: old-growth forest, open mountain plateau, and bogs. The area has some of the oldest pine trees in Scandinavia, over 800 years old. Wolverine, lynx, and golden eagle inhabit the park.
Access from the Norwegian side is via Ljørdalen, a small village north-east of Trysil. The road is open in summer but can be rough. Most visitors access Njupeskär from the Swedish side (road from Särna), which has better facilities.
