Danska Fall

Danska Fall is a sprawling nature reserve that captivates visitors all year round. Whether you're visiting in the crisp chill of winter or the warm embrace of summer, the waterfall is the star attraction. Its stunning surroundings and rich history make it a must-see. The waterfall itself boasts a dramatic 36-meter drop, cascading into the river below. Along the river, you'll find a series of mesmerizing rapids and smaller waterfalls that add to the area's charm.

A picturesque walking trail weaves through the enchanting beech forest, offering a serene escape into nature. The famed Halland Trail also meanders through the reserve, providing ample opportunities for exploration. If you're embarking on the trail from the car park to the waterfall, don't miss the chance to stop at one of the benches or picnic tables. It's the perfect spot to take a breather and savor a delightful picnic you wisely packed.

The reserve is dominated by beech forests, with a sprinkling of oaks here and there. You'll also encounter pine bogs, mixed forests, wetland areas, tranquil lakes, and flowing watercourses. Open spaces, like those at the Eriksköp farm estate, add variety to the landscape. The beech and oak trees are over a century old and are becoming fascinating habitats for lichens and mosses, thanks to their age. Water surrounds the reserve on three sides: Brearedssjön lake to the north, the Assman watercourse to the east, and Skällåsasjön lake to the west. For those interested in wildlife, Danska Fall is a haven. The diverse habitats support a rich variety of bird species, making it a birdwatcher's paradise. Keep your eyes peeled for a glimpse of the rare white-backed woodpecker or the elusive black stork. Whether you're a nature lover, a hiker, or simply seeking a peaceful retreat, Danska Fall Nature Reserve offers a delightful escape into the wonders of the great outdoors.
