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.

Old Tjikko — the oldest tree in the world

Highlight • Natural Monument

Even if the tree itself is not the oldest, but rather the root system, which is said to be the oldest living clone tree. The spruce is called Old Tjikko and is approximately 9550 years old. It is located in the Fulufjället National Park in the Swedish province of Darlana.
If you want to find out more, you can find more information under the Wikipedia entry.

Everything related to the discovery of the tree is also recommended and exciting.

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.
