Storforsen


Storforsen ('the big falls') is the widest waterfall in Sweden, possibly Scandanavia, maybe even the whole of Europe. If not the world. Well, OK, that might be stretching it a bit, or perhaps my worldview is shrinking, but at any rate it is impressive. Having the lend of a car for a couple of weeks, Lucy and I were able to drive out there and check it out. Up to 870 m3/s of water can be flowing down it, and although the pictures don't capture the force or speed of the water, you can take my word that I wouldn't like to try and bodysurf down it.
