Lappland (nature reserve)
Lappland is a nature reserve in Skinnskatteberg Municipality in Sweden.[1] It is located around 5 km east of the small town Skinnskatteberg, and the Swedish county road 233 runs through it. The reserve consists mostly of wetlands and pine forest.[1] Two smaller lakes, Håvtjärnen and Bladtjärnen, are located inside the reserve.
