The Nature Reserve Malingsbo-Kloten in northern Västmanland and southern Dalarna  is one of the biggest Nature Reserves in Sweden. High hills and deep valleys surround a long stretch of paddling water with steep cliffs descend dramatic into the water along narrow stretches

HOWLING WOLFS CAN BE HEARD AT NIGHT

The wilderness is located high and the wildlife is rich. Here we have a lot of moose, deer and beaver but also lynx, wolf, bear are represented. The chance to see lynx, wolf and bear is very small because the animals are in low number and are very shy. Sometimes howling wolfs can be heard at nigh

Moose, deer and beaver are more common. The reserve is one of the most moose populated areas in the world. None of the animals are dangerous
