- The vast raised bog (Store Mosse itself) — The park is the largest bog in southern Sweden, an endless-looking carpet of peat, hummocks and open pools that gives unusually wide, wild vistas for this part of the country.
- Boardwalks and marked hiking trails — A well-maintained network of boardwalks lets you actually walk out into the bog without sinking; trails range from short, easy loops to longer day-hikes, so you can pick a quick stroll or spend a full day exploring.
- Birdwatching towers and hides — Several observation towers and hides give excellent views for spotting cranes, waders and migrating birds; brings a pair of binoculars—spring and autumn migrations are especially rewarding.

- Naturum Store Mosse (visitor centre) — The visitor centre has readable exhibits about bog ecology, local wildlife and trail info, plus friendly staff who can point you to the best routes or recent wildlife sightings.
- Bog plants and small-scale biodiversity — Look for sphagnum moss, cotton grass, cloudberries and marsh orchids; the diversity may be subtle, but up close the textures and colors are fascinating, especially for macro photography.
- Open-sky sunsets and light for photos — Because the bog is so flat and open, you get dramatic skies at sunrise and sunset—great for long shadows, reflections in the pools, and minimal light pollution at night.
- Forest-meadow edges, ponds and insects — The transition zones around the bog host ponds, dragonflies, frogs and woodland birds—nice contrast to the open mire and a good place to see more varied wildlife on a single walk.
