Fallpåsläpp på "Fallens dagar" i Trollhättan 190720

The "Trollhätte Falls" are the natural waterfalls of Göta Älv in Sweden. When the so-called Hell-fall was still unregulated, the water flow amounted to 900 cubic meters / second. Today, the water is allowed to follow its original course only on special occasions and then the flow amounts to about 300 cubic meters / second (300.000 liters/sec). The remaining amount of water is used for power generation in the two power plants Hojum and Olidan. Around the turn of the century, part of the water's power was used by small industries. Trollhätte Falls has fascinated visitors from near and far through the centuries and is still one of the main tourist attractions in Western Sweden today.
