Bezienswaardigheden in de buurt:
Attractions in the Area
Döda Fallet (The Dead Waterfall)
Döda Fallet is the result of Sweden’s largest natural disaster. In 1796, Magnus Huss, due to a technical design flaw in redirecting the Indalsälven River, accidentally drained Lake Ragunda. The massive flood that surged through the Indalsälven Valley destroyed houses, boats, trees, mills, sawmills, bridges, and fisheries. The damage caused by the disaster was immense. As a result, the powerful Storforsen rapids disappeared, leaving behind Döda Fallet.
You can take impressive walks in and around the area. Since large parts of the former waterfall are now dry, you can see the dramatic effects of the once-rushing water. It’s truly worth a visit!
In summer, there is a café with stunning views, and open-air theater performances take place.

Geopark Indalsälven
Established in 2022, Geopark Indalsälven tells the story of geology and the Earth’s long history. Numerous geological discoveries have been made in the Ragunda Valley. You can find all information about the different sites at www.geoparkindalsalven.se.
Fun fact: The geopark here in Ragunda, Jämtland, is connected to the Hondsrug Geopark in Drenthe, the Netherlands!
Thai Pavilion
In 1897, Thai King Chulalongkorn visited Sweden at the invitation of Swedish King Oscar II. As part of his journey, he traveled to Jämtland to study the sawmills.
A hundred years later, the locals were still so impressed by his visit that they decided to commemorate it with a special monument. The result is a magnificent structure adorned with 24-carat gold leaf and mosaics, standing in the middle of a birch forest—a truly unique sight!
