Sweden Storstupet Waterfall, Ämån north of Orsa

Here you can find the remains of an old chute for felled trees, which were guided over the rinner here at the waterfall so that they would not break if they were allowed to tumble down the waterfall. A beautiful motif, especially because you can include the railroad bridge along the river in the background in your shots.

Storstupet is a deep canyon along the river Ämån north of Orsa. On a narrow railway bridge, here the Inlandsbanan crosses Ämån 34 meters above the water surface. The bridge was built in 1902 by Axel Björkman. There are many beautiful viewpoints where you can look out over the ravine, the fall and the railway bridge. Remains of floating facilities can also be seen here.

From the parkeing area you have a 50 meters walk down to Storstupet. The area is steep, there are loose stones and it is far down to the water, so be careful when you walk here.

The canyon's rock walls consist of red sandstone, reddish-brown porphyry and greyish-black diabase and alternate in different shades.

East of the bridge there is a fire hut open to the public.

Many good sports to catch the river, the slide, or the waterfall. As always, a tripod is a clever idea. Play with various exposure times to freeze or smooth the water. Try different angles. Walk a part of the trail behind the river (turn right - downstream) coming from the parking lot, there are nice views back with additional spots.
