The nature reserve is centred on Lake Rogen and is part of a wider network of nature protection areas that extend also on the other side of the border with Norway.[1][2] The landscape is distinctly characterised by Rogen moraine, a type of moraine named after the area. It consists of long, sinuous low hills interspersed with long lakes. In addition, large erratic boulders are spread over the land.[2] In all directions, mountain tops — parts of the Scandinavian Mountains — rise to about 1,000 m (3,300 ft). The highest peak in the area is Brattriet with an altitude of 1,200 m (3,900 ft).[1] The landscape was formed during the last Ice age, and has been described as "labyrinthine".[2][3]
