Trollhättan Falls, Waterfall system in Trollhättan Municipality, Sweden.

The falls drop 32 meters along the Göta river, creating a natural cascade system that spans multiple levels through the rocky terrain.

The waterfalls powered local mills during the 18th and 19th centuries, leading to substantial industrial growth and population increase in the surrounding area.

The annual Fallens Dagar festival in July allows visitors to witness the water release of 300,000 liters per second through the opened lock gates.

Visitors can access multiple viewing points along the designated paths, with the Oscar Bridge providing direct views of the water release displays.

The water flow through the falls is now regulated by hydroelectric power plants, with scheduled releases occurring only during specific summer events.
