Linafallet, 16-meter waterfall in Överkalix Municipality, Sweden.
Linafallet is a waterfall in Överkalix Municipality where water drops through a rocky channel in a single cascade. The falls flow through a narrow gorge surrounded by stone walls that channel the water from the river above.
This waterfall was carved during the last ice age when glacial forces cut deep channels into the Scandinavian bedrock. Over thousands of years, flowing water shaped the rocky formations that guide the cascade today.
Local fishing traditions center around the confluence of Linaälven and Ängesån rivers, where salmon gather near the waterfall each season.
A marked trail leads from road E10 to the falls, ending at a viewing platform designed for wheelchair access. The path is well-maintained and safe for visitors of different mobility levels.
The waterfall maintains its powerful flow throughout winter, creating intricate ice formations that reflect the northern lights during dark months.
