Tyresta National Park was established in 1993 in Stockholm County and is one of the most significant untouched sections of ancient forest in Sweden outside of the Alpine forests of Sweden. The forest features a rift valley landscape with pine trees abundant in the rocky areas but spruce trees being common in the valley.

Activity in the Tyresta National Park is limited for preservation sake; however, the Tyresta Nature Preserve which provides a buffer zone around the national park allows more intensive outdoor recreation such as hiking. Visitors to the National Park can explore Naturum National Park House (the visitor center), the Tyresta village, Fornborgen at Lake Stensjon and the fire area. The Tyresta Village is one of the best-preserved iron age villages in Sweden.
