Njupeskär's 93-meter drop, Sweden's tallest waterfall, cuts through a gorge below a birch-covered plateau in northern Dalarna. Mountain birch clinging to the rock, some barely shrub height and bent by wind, turns gold and rust through September; nearby grows Old Tjikko, a roughly 9,550-year-old spruce considered one of the world's oldest living trees.
