Silverfallet

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.

In the first half of the 19th century, Karlsfors was home to limestone and alum shale quarries and the ruins of lime and alum works, then the largest facilities of their kind in the Skaraborg region. The site now lies within the Silverfallen-Karlsfors nature reserve, part of Natura 2000.

The name Karlsfors, for the nearby village, means "Karl's rapids". Along the rock steps of the slope lie the disused limestone and alum shale quarries and the ruins of the Karlsfors lime and alum works, which in the first half of the 19th century were the largest of their kind in the Skaraborg region.

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.

The name is not explained by the water's colour: sources note it is unclear whether the largest single fall by the viewpoint or the whole 50–60 m drop gives the name, and both Silverfallet (singular) and Silverfallen (plural) are used. The reserve is part of Natura 2000.
