Also, breeding ringtrast and morkulla. The rarest species are mindre flugsnappare, vitryggig hackspett , sparvuggla and pärluggla.

Some of the mammalian highlights of the national park are brown bear (relatively numerous, but rarely seen), chamois (frequent), roe deer (common), wildcat, European pine marten, and Eurasian otter.
