Njupeskär Waterfall and Njupån Stream

Highlight (Segment) • Waterfall

In the middle of Fulufjäll National Park lies Sweden's highest waterfall, Njupeskär. There is no road leading there, and no tourist buses bring the masses there. Only those who undertake a short hike can observe this natural spectacle in all seasons. On the way between the visitor center and the waterfall, you pass a small rest hut from which you can already see the waterfall. In winter, it freezes over completely and sometimes you can even see ice climbers.

Njupeskär Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

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.

View of Fulufjället National Park

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

The view from the back of Fulufjäll over the expanse of Dalarna and the Fulufjäll National Park is really breathtaking. In summer, the dark green forests extend to the horizon. In winter, the landscape is covered by a thick blanket of snow, immersed in the warm winter sun of Scandinavia. The steep ascent here is worthwhile both seasons. In winter, you should be well prepared for wind and cold, because up here on the Fjäll pulls neat on some days!

Rösjöstugorna Cabins

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Rördjöststugan is quite large and consists of several houses. Tourists book here for their holidays. The Stugan has a kiosk. You can camp near the Stugan and use the Stugan's infrastructure.

Above Lissrörsjön

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Up here, between Storsjön and Lissrörsjön, whose waters flow into the Njupeskär on the edge of the fells, only a few hikers get lost. The southern Kungsleden attracts a few long-distance hikers in the summer here. But especially in winter, a visit is worthwhile, when the landscape is bathed in mystical white and there is absolute silence on the fells. Between frozen lakes and impressive snowdrifts, you can follow your own path through the Swedish winter mountains and be enchanted by the typical Nordic winter light.

September 17, 2022,Fulufjällets Nationalpark 🇸🇪

Slowly we had to think about our way back and since the weather in Dovrefjell didn't promise to get any better either, we left our cozy hut with a heavy heart and turned to vagabond life again😉. After a look at the weather map, we headed back towards Sweden to Fulufjället National Park, which was too far off the beaten …

Tour to the oldest spruce in the world. She's been over 9,000 years old, the good one.

Info for dog handlers: The difficult hiking trails include rock sections that are difficult to walk even for trained dogs. However, there are paths that lead around it (sometimes difficult to find).

June 7, 2023,🇸🇪Fulufjällets Nationalpark

We couldn't resist and had to drive to Fulufjällets National Park once again, after September last year when the park shone in the most beautiful autumn colors. We start our round again at Naturum, but first choose the steep ascent to Rösjöstugorna hut, but make a small detour via Jaktfalksleden. Here we already have to cross the first snowfields. We …
