Styggforsen, Waterfall in Boda, Sweden
The Styggforsen waterfall cascades down 36 meters through limestone rock formations at the eastern edge of the Siljan Ring crater.
The geological structure of the waterfall emerged from a meteorite impact 377 million years ago that created the Siljan Ring crater during the Devonian period.
The location features in Ingmar Bergman's film The Virgin Spring, contributing to Swedish cinema heritage through its natural limestone formations.
A one-kilometer circular path leads visitors to observation points, the Troll Hole cave, and includes safety barriers along steep sections.
The waterfall base connects with a dike of brecciated quartz that predates the meteorite impact, creating an exceptional geological junction point.
