Description

On sunny summer days, the mirror pond in Fjällsjöälven is the perfect excursion destination for the whole family. Spread out a picnic blanket in the green grass at the edge of the beach and set out the packed lunch while the children play in the water. You have slightly more adventurous bathing opportunities just below the dam, where the dammed Fjällsjöälven comes to life again and flows on into Kilforsfallet to create a natural giant spa. Here you can climb around on the rocks with the slightly older children and discover large craters and other formations that the rapids have carved out over thousands of years. Or challenge the rapids, find a good rock to sit on and let the water wash over you. Sitting under one of the various small waterfalls with the water flowing around the body is pure meditation.

As you descend to the end of the rapids, the river opens into a generous lagoon surrounded by steep cliffs. A popular tumbling site for all ages, which you can also choose to reach via a path through the forest, directly from the car park. If you want a magical experience instead, you should take the opportunity to take a dip in the Mirror Dam on a late evening in June, when the nights never get quite dark. And maybe afterwards grill something good at the barbecue area between the parking lot and the water. The mirror pond has baths for all tastes.
