Hällingsåfallet

At Hällingsåfallet vast amounts of water rush down into a 43 metres deep abyss and subsequently squeeze through the narrow canyon – Europe's longest water filled crevice. After 800 metres the watercourse gets wider again and streams more calmly for three kilometres until it discharges into the Hetögeln lakes.

In summer rainbows light up in the haze, rare lichens and mosses grow in the misty areas, and in many a year rough-legged buzzards and merlins brood in the crevice. The best place to explore the crevice is along a marked pathway from a parking place 2.5 km south of the waterfall. However, you can also proceed from the road, for there is a bridge that is suitable for wheelchairs to the waterfall. Tables, a cabin and a fire place invite you for a picnic.

In winter the Hällingsåfallet is worth paying a visit as well. Then the waterfall freezes into an enormous ice sculpture. In the snow however, the trip will be less easy. You will have to cover the last four kilometres by snowmobile, or on snowshoes or cross country skis.

The Hällingsåfallet is situated some 20 kilometres south of Gäddede and can be reached from there or from the east, coming from the south end of Vattudalen. The road is signposted.

Brakkåfallet

The most romantic waterfall is located between Jorm and Stora Blåsjön. From the signed parking lot close to the Vildmarksvägen, a narrow trail leads to the idyllic waterfall. Those looking for some adventure, wanting to take a look at the crevice, or to take a dip on a hot summer day are recommended to take the path through the river.

Be careful – the stones in the water can be slippery!

Frequently small trolls are drifting about the Brakkåfallet. The most famous one is the amiable toy thief "Dunderklumpen", who let himself even be filmed for the Swedish animation movie of the same name.

Lejarfallet

A beautiful three kilometres long trail, which is also very well passable in rainy weather, leads from the parking lot in Ankared to the wonderful Lejar waterfall.

Tip: Pack your picknick basket; at the Lejar river there are two idyllic picnic places with fireplaces.

Gaustafallet

Right next to the Vildmarksvägen, between Gäddede and Stekenjokk, the Gaustafallet plunges in a canyon.

In sunny weather the water lights up in the most beautiful shades of blue.

At Gaustafallet a scene from Astrid Lindgren's "Ronja the Robber's Daughter" was filmed.
