Dänisches Naturschutzgebiet Herbst

The Danish Waterfall Nature Reserve is located on the edge of the small village of Simlångsdalen, approximately 20 kilometers east of Halmstad. It covers the area of an old beech and oak forest, cut by small ravines. Most of the trees growing here are over a hundred years old, and the forest itself is devoid of human interference.

You can walk along marked paths in the reserve. It is especially worth going to the Danish Waterfall, from which the name of the entire reserve comes from and which is its most important part. It consists of a series of picturesque cascades with a total height of up to 35 m.

The name of the waterfall refers to the Battle of Fyllebro, which was fought on August 17, 1676. The Danish army was then defeated and a group of soldiers tried to cross the suspension bridge built over the waterfall. The Swedes caught up with the refugees and cut the bridge just as Danish soldiers fell into the river.
