valley wetland Explanation: ......or wetland valley......It is definitely a wet part of the landscape ('fukt'), and 'drog' is a wet area or valley. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2013-03-01 08:32:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- On further thought, perhaps it is a glen rather than a valley. |

bog/fen or generally mire Explanation: I'm actually more certain that this is geologically a bog area, though am also stumped by the seemingly local/colloquial term or usage. For some interesting reading start with bog (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bog) and compare to marsh, which are geologically different, tho us mortals generally equate the two. I like the, to my ear, more poetic 'mire' ... and you have fen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fen) -- another type of mire ... The 'mossmattor' says it to me, tho, that this is a bog/fen, mire. Pleasant reading! The 'källmiljö' says the wetness comes from an artesian system (ground/rainwater) rather than a lake, river, or other body of water. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2013-03-01 09:01:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Just read about 'wooded fen', may be the poetic zest you might want! As opposed to 'wooded bog'! ;-) Example sentence(s):
