Fulufjället is a prominent sandstone plateau in Dalarna County and home to the Fulufjället National Park, established in 2002. Covering 385 square kilometers, the park protects a nearly pristine natural landscape characterized by the absence of reindeer grazing, which has left its lichen carpets exceptionally well-preserved. One of its main attractions is Njupeskär, Sweden's highest waterfall, with a total drop of 93 meters. The area gained international scientific fame for "Old Tjikko," a Norway spruce whose root system has been dated to approximately 9,550 years old, making it one of the world's oldest known clonal trees. Geologically, the plateau consists of Dala sandstone, deposited about 1.3 billion years ago, which today forms an impressive high-altitude plateau landscape with steep escarpments.
