Storforsen ( Sweden) rapids and a midsummer celebration
A short visit to the Storforsen nature reserve in the north of Sweden (near Lulea) with its dramatic rapids in the Pite River. With an average flow of 250 m3, s, the rapids are one of the biggest in Europe. The rapids stretch out over a distance of 5km in which the riverbed falls 82 metres. At the bottom of the rapids is the Storforsen hotel and church where we saw a simple but typically Swedish family midsummer celebration.
