Döda Fallet, Death Falls, deserves its name. Once an impressing sight where the water found its way down. Today just as impressing to walk deep down imagining its history. To make it possible to sail from the coast far into the inland of Sweden early pioneer engineers closed the falls and led the water throw a low land landscape. At the time the 1790´s, a gigant project. But the end of it was a catastrophe. The water brook through too early and a whole lake disappeared within a day, demolishing everything along its way down to the sea. The falls were emptied and new farmland was created where the lake once rested. And it was made possible to sail all the way into the deep forestland. So when hiking the death falls you try to imagine the day in 1795 when it suddenly went from a roaring thundering fall to a silent resting piece of beautiful nature. read more
