Hammarstrand, Sweden
Döda fallet
Döda fallet is a former whitewater rapid in of the river Indalsälven in Ragunda Municipality in the eastern part of the province of Jämtland in Sweden. Glacial debris had blocked the course of the Indalsälven at Döda fallet for thousands of years, creating a reservoir of glacial meltwater 25 km long known as Ragundasjön, which overflowed over a natural spillway that bypassed this dam of debris, in a long high steep rapid known as Gedungsen or Storforsen. It was one of the most impressive rapids in Sweden with a total fall height of about 35 meters and a large water discharge.
