Njupeskär waterfall in Fulufjället

From the car park at Njupeskärsentrén, by Naturum Fulufjället, follow the yellow markers of Njupeskärsleden west on wide boardwalks across mire and through forest on the north side of the river Njupån. The path climbs gently past the rest cabin Njupeskärsstugan to the viewing platform below Njupeskär, where the water falls 93 m, 70 m of it in a single drop, down the wall of the ravine. The way back follows the south side of the Njupån to the car park.

It is 4.2 km round with 98 m of ascent; allow about 1½ hours. The grade is Easy: packed gravel and boardwalks, steep in places near the falls.

The national park closes the last stretch into the ravine in winter and spring because of avalanches and falling ice, snow and rock; then you can see the falls from Njupeskärsstugan. Snow can come as early as October and lie in places on the path into June. Dogs must be on a lead everywhere in the park, all year.

The car park has toilets and drinking water, open day and night all year. It is about 25 km west of Särna; Dalatrafik bus 785 runs from Särna. The naturum is open daily until 4 October, then from 24 October to 1 November.
