Tännforsen, Waterfall in Åre Municipality, Sweden
The 38-meter-high waterfall stretches 60 meters wide along the Indalsälven river, carrying mountain water toward the Baltic Sea.
The waterfall started receiving visitors in 1835 when King Karl XIV Johan inaugurated the Skalstugevägen road connecting Sweden to Norway.
Local residents successfully protected the waterfall from hydroelectric development, leading to its designation as a nature reserve in 1971.
Marked trails from the Tännforsen tourist station parking lot guide visitors to upstream and downstream viewing points of the waterfall.
The waterfall's constant mist creates high humidity conditions where rare species of lichens and mosses flourish, similar to tropical environments.
