Sörfors - Power Station

At Sörfors, 15km/9mi northwest of Umeå, the large underground hydro-electric power station of Stornorrfors has a fall of 75m/250ft and a turbine hall 24m/80ft high hewn from the rock (conducted visits in summer). Here too is the Stornorrfors salmon hatchery, which releases 100,000 salmon annually into the Umeälv. The salmon can be seen leaping up the small waterfall below the huge dam.
