Stalpet, Twin waterfall in Aneby, Sweden
Stalpet is a waterfall composed of two distinct cascades dropping into a canyon along the Svartån river. The water flows down rocky cliff faces and creates dynamic water patterns as it descends through the narrow gorge.
Mills powered by water wheels operated at this location from the 13th century for grain grinding until 1923, when a hydroelectric power station took over the water's energy. This shift marked the transition from traditional milling to modern power generation.
The handmade craft shop that operates seasonally reflects the skills of local artisans, selling items that showcase regional craftsmanship and traditions during summer months.
The site is open year-round with parking available near the observation areas and a cafe that serves visitors during warmer months. Plan your visit between May and September for full access to facilities and services.
The Svartån river flows northward at this location, which is contrary to how most waterways in the region typically move. This unusual direction ultimately leads the water to Lake Ralangen.
