Sweden's highest waterfall measures just 93m with a drop of 70m. Nestled in the Fulufjället National Park, founded in 2002, you can visit it surrounded by wild Swedish nature. In summer, a hiking trail leads from the Visitor Center, in winter you can follow it with snowshoes. In winter, the waterfall freezes completely and transforms into a huge turquoise-blue icefall - a spectacular sight!

Between the 1st of December and the 31st of March ice climbing is also possible at the frozen waterfall. You can pitch your tent in the parking lot.

July 21, 2023,Wanderung durch den NP Fulufjället 🇸🇪

Today we stopped at Fulufjället National Park on our way to northern Sweden. At first the rain slowed us down, but armed with rain gear we started hiking. The risk of getting wet was worth it, the weather god was lenient, the sun even came out 🌞. We then decided to hike the big round trip, so we tackled Sweden's …

wow, wow, wow

Breathtaking landscape, fascinating Njupeskär waterfall (with the highest free fall height of 70m, the largest in Sweden, so to speak), Old Tjikko (the oldest tree on earth, even if it doesn't look like it in terms of size), this hike is simply stunning.

This one was really on my bucket list: Old Tjikko with its 9500 old root system. The tree itself is estimated to be 400 years old and originated as a clone of an ancient spruce. Tjikko unfortunately lost a meter due to heavy snowfall at the beginning of this year.
