Description

Description (EN):

The National Park Board for Fulufjellet and Länsstyrelsen Dalarna aims to develop a common and unified visitor management for Fulufjellet’s national parks. The project will use visitor management as a tool in a cross-border visitor strategy for the two national parks that will increase the availability of the border region’s natural and cultural heritage, and through joint initiatives present both national parks as a cohesive unit.

Description (NO):

Nasjonalparkstyret for Fulufjellet og Länsstyrelsen Dalarna har et mål om å utvikle en felles og omforent besøksforvaltning for Fulufjellets nasjonalparker. Prosjektet vil ta i bruk besøksforvaltning som et verktøy i en grenseoverskridende besøksstrategi for de to nasjonalparkene som vil øke tilgjengeligheten til grenseregionens natur- og kulturarv, og gjennom fellestiltak presentere begge nasjonalparkene som en sammenhengende enhet.

Achievements (SV):

Under 2016-2018 har Länsstyrelsen i Dalarnas län och Nasjonalparkstyret for Fulufjellet samarbetat i projektet Gränsöverskridande besöksförvaltning för Fulufjällets nationalparker. Projektets syfte var att stärka gränsregionens natur- och kulturarv och med gemensamma insatser utveckla nationalparkerna som en enhet, och mycket spännande har åstadkommits i projektet. Fulufjällets båda nationalparker är en allt mer populär besöksattraktion. Sommaren 2017, 15 år efter bildandet, slogs ett nytt besöksrekord på Naturum Fulufjället med drygt 30 000 besökare. För att kunna ta emot ännu fler besökare, utveckla näringslivet i Norra Dalarna och östra Hedmark samt ge besökarna en naturupplevelse i världsklass utan att äventyra den unika naturen i parken har projektet tagit fram en gemensam besöksstrategi för Fulufjällets nationalparker på svensk och norsk sida. Bl.a. har sju fokusområden pekats ut där man satsar på tillrättaläggning och information, medan övriga delen av parken får förbli orörd natur. Naturum Fulufjället har blivit hela parkens besökscentra som numera anordnar gemensamma gränsöverskridande arrangemang, ger information om parken på båda sidor av gränsen och sköter gemensamma gränsregionala facebook- och instagramkonton. En rejäl satsning har gjorts vid Njupeskärsentrén med utveckling av nya besöksmål, nya naturstigar, ny vägvisning, handikappanpassning av stigar och nya kartor – allt för att kunna ta emot fler besökare och ge en vildmarksupplevelse av hög kvalitet under kontrollerade former. För att utveckla näringslivet i och kring parken har gränsregionala samarbetsplattformar, gemensamma årliga konferenser och certifiering av nationalparkspartners etablerats. En budskapsplattform som beskriver vilken bild man vill förmedla när man kommunicerar och marknadsför Fulufjället har tagits fram och har blivit ett viktigt dokument för alla som arbetar med och i Fulufjället! Projektet har även genomfört kulturminnesinventeringar som resulterade i 200 nya fornfynd, allt från stenåldersfynd till spår från fäbodar, och tagit fram och digitaliserat berättelser, bilder och filmer om livet i Fulufjället. Tillsammans skapar de en grund för att etablera nya besöksmål i parken och attrahera nya besöksgrupper. Projektet avslutades 2018-12-31 men insatser för införlivande av besöksstrategin fortsätter. Bl.a. genom märkning av nya gränsöverskridande leder och samarbete kring nationalparkscertifiering för företagare. Ta del av hela projektets slutrapport här.

Achievements (EN):

During 2016-2018, the County Administrative Board of Dalarna County and the Nasjonalpark Styret for Fulufjellet have collaborated in the cross-border visitor management project for Fulufjället National Parks. The aim of the project was to strengthen the border region’s natural and cultural heritage and with joint efforts to develop the national parks as a unit, and very exciting has been achieved in the project. Fulufjället’s two national parks are an increasingly popular visitor attraction. In the summer of 2017, 15 years after its formation, a new visitor record was struck at Naturum Fulufjället with just over 30,000 visitors. In order to receive even more visitors, develop the business community in Northern Dalarna and eastern Hedmark and provide visitors with a world-class nature experience without compromising the unique nature of the park, the project has developed a joint visitor strategy for Fulufjället National Parks on the Swedish and Norwegian sides. Among other things, seven focus areas have been identified where the focus is on remediation and information, while the rest of the park may remain untouched nature. Naturum Fulufjället has become the park’s visitor center, which now organises joint cross-border events, provides information about the park on both sides of the border and manages joint border regional Facebook and Instagram accounts. A substantial investment has been made at Njupeskärsentrén with the development of new attractions, new nature trails, new road guidance, accessibility of paths and new maps — all to be able to accommodate more visitors and provide a high-quality wilderness experience under controlled conditions. In order to develop the business community in and around the park, cross-border regional cooperation platforms, joint annual conferences and certification of national park partners have been established. A message platform that describes what image you want to convey when communicating and marketing Fulufjället has been developed and has become an important document for everyone who works with and in Fulufjället! The project has also carried out cultural heritage inventories that resulted in 200 new ancient finds, ranging from stone age finds to traces from pastures, and developed and digitised stories, pictures and films about life in Fulufjället. Together, they create a basis for establishing new attractions in the park and attracting new visitor groups. The project was completed in 2018-12-31, but efforts to incorporate the visitor strategy continue. Among other things, through the marking of new cross-border leads and cooperation on national park certification for entrepreneurs. Take note of the final report of the entire project here.
