Danska fall

Danska fall is a nature reserve featuring cascading waterfalls where the Assman River drops 36 meters through a narrow gorge bordered by steep rock walls. The site includes walking paths and viewing areas positioned at different heights to take in the falling water.

The name marks an event from the Scanian War in 1676, when Danish soldiers died at this location after a bridge collapsed as they retreated from Swedish forces. This tragedy became part of the place's identity.

The forest around the waterfall is home to centuries-old beech and oak trees that create a sense of permanence and natural history. Visitors walking through can see how these ancient trees define the character of the place.

A one-kilometer gravel path leads from the parking area to the waterfalls, with benches and picnic areas spaced along the route for rest stops. The path is easy to walk and provides regular opportunities to pause and take in the surroundings.

Just below the waterfalls, near Lake Brearedssjoen, the water creates a maze-like landscape where the river splits into multiple branches between cliffs and rocks. This intricate pattern developed over thousands of years as flowing water carved through the terrain.
