Njupeskär, Tallest waterfall in Fulufjället National Park, Sweden
Description
Njupeskär is a waterfall in Älvdalen Municipality, Sweden, that drops over 90 meters down rocky cliffs. The free-falling section reaches 70 meters and creates thick mist that spreads through the surrounding area.
History
Classification as Sweden's tallest waterfall came under question in 2014 through research. Scientists pointed to other falls that may be taller.
Culture
The name comes from Sami language and refers to a geographic feature of the landscape. Hikers experience the falls as a destination after a forest walk that passes through wetlands and boulder fields.
Practical
A marked trail of roughly two kilometers leads from the parking lot to the falls. Wooden walkways help access in areas with wet or uneven ground.
Did you know?
On midsummer mornings between three and five, sunlight reflects through the water and creates blue light patterns. This effect lasts only during the hours with low sun angle.
