Hällingsåfallet

The Hällingsåfallet waterfall creates a vertical drop of 43 meters while the surrounding canyon extends for 800 meters through the landscape.

The canyon formation occurred during the last ice age when melting glaciers eroded an existing crack in the bedrock of Jämtland County.

The Swedish authorities established this location as a protected nature reserve in 1971 to preserve its geological features and native species.

Visitors can access the waterfall through a 2-kilometer path from the parking area, with facilities including outhouses and shelters along the route.

The site contains numerous rare plant species, including northern wolfsbane, Alpine snow-thistle, and specific varieties of moss that thrive in the moist environment.
