Sweden has 30 national parks and more than 4, 000 nature reserves, together covering more than a tenth of the country’s land area. Sweden’s largest park is Padjelanta National Park, situated in the very north and part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Laponia. Padjelanta is primarily comprised by a vast plateau around two large lakes. The landscape mainly consists of rolling hills with few peaks of the higher variety. It is home to animals such as lemmings, reindeer, wolverines and arctic fox.
