Pieljekaise is a long ridge at the southern edge of Sweden’s northern mountains. It lies like a lonely sentinel amidst a wide, birch-clad transition zone that stretches between high mountains and a lower region of evergreen forest, with a large number of small lakes. The feature that gives the park its special character is the large expanse of unspoiled birch forest.
