Walk the little forest path here to emerge onto a lovely picnic spot (with picnic benches!) for some peace, quiet and a good amount of blue water marvelling!

Älvkarlebyforsen

Highlight • Waterfall

A large, man-made waterfall on the Dalälven River. Famous for salmon fishing - but it's a very impressive sight in its own right. Very noisy!

Highlight • Monument

The locks are usually opened on the second Sunday in June, which draws a lot of spectators.
