Impressive walk along the Hällingsåfallet, a 43-metre high waterfall that plunges into the gorge. This is the longest in Sweden (800 metres) and is home to various types of rare and beautiful mosses.

I was surprised by the high water level of the river, which split in several places and flooded the trail here and there. Wading is then the …

In our opinion, this is the most spectacular waterfall in Sweden. The hike along the wild river until the gorge suddenly appears before you is breathtaking.
The waterfall is about 40 meters high and plunges into an 800-meter-long gorge.

From the hiking car park, the path leads over many tree roots along the river. After just under 2km you reach the entrance to the canyon, which at 800m is considered Sweden's longest canyon. The path now leads relatively steeply up over the rocks. Further up, the edge is secured and you can take a look into the depths. Later, …
