Explore the landscape of Silverfallet and discover how water, limestone, and human labour shaped this unique part of Västergötland.

This guided walk takes you from Karlsfors Gård to the stunning nature reserve at Silverfallet. As you follow forest trails and limestone cliffs, your guide will share stories about the site's alun production in the 1800s and its transformation into a lime industry.
