Mörrumsåns national park proposal seeks enhanced environmental protection

A proposal has been made to establish the Mörrumsåns national park to better protect the natural and cultural environment of the Mörrum River valley. The suggestion highlights that while parts of the river are currently protected as nature reserves, a national park designation would provide enhanced protection for the landscape stretching from Lake Åsnen to Elleholm.

The initiative is envisioned as a collaborative project between the regions of Blekinge and Kronoberg, potentially supported by EU funding. Proponents suggest that such a designation would encourage increased tourism, particularly for hikers traveling along the river.
