Fokstumyra Nature Reserve

Fokstumyra naturreservat

One of Norway's earliest nature reserves, its highland wetlands and small lakes make it a paradise for birdwatchers in Northern Europe.

Fokstumyra is a wetland northeast of Dombås. It was designated a nature reserve in 1923, making it one of Norway's oldest. Over a hundred bird species live among the wetlands, small lakes, and shrubs, including bluethroats, cranes, and various wading birds, and moose are occasionally spotted. Visitors can walk a loop trail of about 7.5 kilometers and use the birdwatching tower. During the breeding season, visitors must stay on the trail. Entry is free. Bring binoculars and insect repellent. The reserve is close to Dombås Station, so it is easy to reach.
