Silverfallet, Natural waterfall in Skövde, Sweden
Silverfallet is a waterfall system featuring multiple cascades along a forest creek in central Sweden. Several overlooks are connected by marked trails that wind through the surrounding woodland and open areas.
The site became an industrial center in the 1800s when mills tapped the water for power and production. Over time the focus shifted to protecting the natural environment while conserving traces of that earlier era.
The falls sit within a nature reserve where industrial history is woven into the landscape through old mill structures and restored sites. Walking the trails, you notice how water power shaped human activity in this region over centuries.
Visit when conditions are dry, as trails become slippery after rain or during wet seasons. Safety fencing around steep sections lets you get close to the water without risking a fall.
From certain angles the water appears silvery, which is how the place got its name. This visual effect shifts with sunlight and time of day, making each visit look slightly different.
