Döda Fallet (Dead fall) is a fascinating destination. Located in the middle of beautiful nature, there is plenty to discover and learn here about the river Ätran and the power plant chapter of its history. Welcome Aside from taking you straight to Yngeredsforsen, the road between Askome and Gällared is the most beautiful in Halland. Here, you can stroll down an exciting cultural trail that takes you to a number of sights by the ancient rapids. For a long time, the communities of the Ätra valley have exploited the power of the river. Traces of these communities can still be found by Yngeredsforsen. The signs guide you around to raft and mill corrugations, various ruins and the high dam levees. History The businessman Mauritz Hansson purchased the area in 1899 and had great plans for the rapids. He envisaged the creation of an industrialised community with a pump mill and power plant. However, financial constraints meant that it was only possible to build the power plant, which was completed in 1907. Wallenberg then took over ownership of the company and coupled the power plant with his paper mill in Mölndal. Döda Fallet (Dead Falls) gets its name A new power plant was constructed a bit upstream of Boaforsen in the 1960s. In order to get the best turbine effect, the water was routed down a tunnel that transports it a bit downstream. In connection with this, the stretch of water by the old power plant was drained, which is how the name Döda Fallet (Dead Falls) came about. The foundations and ruins from the old power plant still remain. Exploring these can be a fun experience, but be sure to keep one eye on the children as the area has a few slippery cliffs and deep gorges. Enjoy the nature There is a lot to explore here, so be sure to bring a packed lunch. There are tables and benches scattered around the area, as well as barbecue sites. If you visit the area after a period with a lot of rainfall, you may find the waterfall is as active and roaring as it once was. This happens when water is released from the dam to relieve the pressure that is created in connection with high water levels.

Welcome Climbing Smörkullen is a fun adventure for grown-ups as well as children. When you make it to its peak, you will find yourself 52 metres above sea level and with a magnificent view of Falkenberg. The Smörkullen nature reserve is a lovely excursion point for the whole family thanks to its ideal combination of nature and fun experiences. There is a parking lot just by the road. Head to the top There are three paths leading up the hill. The one right by the parking lot is the steepest, while the other two are less challenging. The paths are well-maintained and easy to follow. Children should have no problem making it to the top - in fact, they will most likely find it exciting, especially the last stretch where you have to climb wooden ladders. Once you make it to the top, you enjoy the packed lunch you hopefully brought as well as the amazing view. A fascinating history Smörkullen was once part of a chain of beacon hills along the coast. The signal fires served as a kind of alarm system that could quickly alert the entire countryside to encroaching danger, such as raiders. It has likely also been a site for the mythical practice of ättestupa, where elderly people were said to have thrown - or been thrown - to their death, as well as a sacrificial site. Additionally, an amazing discovery was made on the top of the hill in 1859, when a golden bowl from the Bronze Age was unearthed. At Smörkullen, you can also find old Nordic rock carvings known as bowl hollows. The bowl hollows are where Smörkullen gets its name from - Butter Hill in English - as it was once believed that people once sacrificed fat in the bowls.
