Sumpafallen naturreservat
- Nature reserve
- County: Hallands län
Actions
Description
In a scenic valley just south of Ullared you will find Sumpafallen. An untouched stretch of Högvadsån, which is Ätrans' largest tributary, flows through the reserve. You can walk on footpaths along the rushing river and there is also a barbecue area near the parking lot.
Högvadsån forms four major rapids in the reserve. One of these, Sumpafallen, has given the reserve its name. Here and at the other falls, the roar of the rushing water can be deafening, but there are also areas of calm water where you can rest your ears for a while.
