Elgåfossen, Border waterfall near Vassbotten, Sweden

Elgåfossen falls 46 meters from a tributary of the Enningdalsälven river, marking the natural boundary between Sweden and Norway.

The waterfall area contains remnants of old mills that operated during the industrial period, reflecting the regional manufacturing heritage.

The water feature bears different names in Norwegian and Swedish languages, demonstrating the dual cultural identity of this border region.

Visitors can park their vehicles 1 kilometer from the border and walk a short distance to reach multiple viewing points of the falls.

The water flow changes dramatically between seasons, transforming from a powerful cascade in spring to a gentle stream during summer months.
