To do Sights Nature

The Mårdseleforsen rapids

One of the most magnificent and dramatic rapid landscapes along the Vindel River and in Västerbotten. Today, Mårdseleforsen Nature Reserve is a popular destination and a beautiful place to stop when travelling along the Vindel River.

The area features dramatic rapids, impressive glacial potholes, old-growth forest and remains from the timber-floating era. Suspension bridges connect the small islands among the rapids, allowing visitors to experience the powerful river at close range.
