Moose (elk)

The Moose (elk) is the largest deer animal in the world and can reach a height of over 2 metres. It can weigh up to 800 kg. Moose are found all over Sweden, but not on the island of Gotland.

There are approx. 300,000 elks in Sweden, of which approx. 100,000 are shot during the annual hunting season. Moose are a major industry in Sweden. They can live up to 25 years.

When in heat, an moose bull can call upon 4 to 5 elk cows. The heat period occurs between September and October and last only for 10 to 12 hours. The cow is pregnant for 8 months and usually gives birth to 2 calves who, only after a couple of hours, are capable of following the cow on their long wobbly legs.

During the first week after calving, the cow keeps the calves well hidden. The moose bulls lose their horns in late winter, but they grow back however within 7 months.

If you are lucky, you may catch a glimpse of an elk at the edge of a forest or close to the road.

Good Luck!

 

 

 

Moose - Walk

Take the 1,300 m long walkway around the forest enclosure that includes a number of mooses. Stop awhile at the pond and you may be lucky enough to see an moose taking a swim or having a drink.

Have a little rest in one of our lookout towers. Tthe enclosed area is extensive ,but, with patience, you can be one of the lucky ones to see an moose. Don't forget to bring your camera.

THIS IS OUR ELK SAFARI.
 

Good Luck!

     

 

 

 

Barbecue / Inbuilt Barbecue

Why not grill over the open fire your own moose hotdog, which you can purchase in the moose shop!

Children are more than welcome to feed the rabbits that live close to the barbecue area, while Mom and Dad grill the hotdogs.

Enjoy your meal!
 

We recommend prior reservation for groups of 20 people or more..

 

 

 

 

Moose on the road

12 to 15 traffic accidents involving mooses occur everyday in Sweden, resulting in major injuries. The accidents occur mostly at dawn or at sunset.

As elks can run at speeds of up to 50 km an hour, they can appear on the road in front of your car at the blink of an eye.

Reduce speed ! Mooses do not know the rules of the road!
