Döda fallet, Nature reserve near Ragunda, Sweden

The Döda fallet site contains deep rock formations and dried riverbeds where the Storforsen waterfall once flowed with a height of 35 meters.

In 1796, a catastrophic flood emptied Lake Ragunda in four hours when a timber transportation canal collapsed, transforming the landscape into a stone desert.

The nature reserve serves as a visitor center for Geopark Indalsälven, offering exhibitions about geological formations and local environmental protection initiatives.

Visitors can access the reserve through marked trails from the parking area, with a restaurant operating during summer months from June through August.

The site represents the only instance in Sweden where a major waterfall disappeared completely due to human intervention in water management systems.
