Gressåmoen National Park

Gressåmoen National Park is the name of a former national park in Norway. It was set up in 1970 in the area of ​​the municipality of Snåsa in what was then Fylke Nord-Trøndelag to protect a spruce forest with a primeval forest character, which is typical for this region of Norway . In 2004 the national park was merged into the newly established Blåfjella-Skjækerfjella National Park . The name of the 181.5  km² national park comes from an old mountain farm that is now just outside the former national park border.

The national park was topographically divided into three parts:

• In the north lies the Lurudal, which runs through the park in a west-east direction. At the end of this valley, the summit of Gamstuguhaugane rises 992 m high into the sky. The highest point of the national park is Bugvassfjell, 1009 m high in the north.
• To the south and west, rising fells Nordre and Søre Gauptjørnaksla.
• In the southeast, the landscape slopes down to a vast depression with numerous bodies of water, all of which drain to the east towards Sweden.

The dominant forest type in the national park is coniferous forest . This covers an area of ​​approximately 13 km². In the lower areas, bogs are the dominant landscape element.

There are no marked paths or accommodation in the national park.
