Experience

Vattenriket

, one of Sweden's most diverse and unique habitats where you will find many of our endangered flora and fauna. Vattenriket is a book about Sweden's first UNESCO biosphere reserve, established in 2005.

Kristianstad was founded in the 17th century as a defence installation in the middle of this wetland. The Helge å river and its fluctuating water levels are still a major feature of the city.
