The Waterfalls

The floodgates open and the water is released. When this magnificent event takes place, one is capable of understanding what enormous forces the engineers have managed to tame with locks and the Olidan power station.

The Trollhättan waterfalls no longer thunder uninterrupted, but still you can experience something of the wildness and romance that for centuries attracted visitors to Trollhättan.

When Vattenfall opens the floodgates the river resumes some of its original wildness and 300 000 liters of water per second plunges along the river. A magnificent and spectacular show!
