Kvarnbyn and Mölndalsfallen are located at the very heart of old Mölndal 8 kilometers south of Göteborg. In Kvarnbyn the rapids roar down just as they did when they were used to power the grain mills back in the Middle Ages.
Now the industrial buildings stand beside the wooden buildings at the cliff edge. In the evenings you can see Mölndalsfallen lit up as they plunge 48 metres between the high, dark factory walls. The falls are particularly spectacular in winter when frost and icicles reinforce the impact. Today you’ll find cafés and galleries alongside the rapids
together with the town museum.
