Hallamölla (Skåne) |
The Hallamölla is the highest waterfall in the southern Swedish province of Skåne County and the historic province of Skåne with a height of 23 meters .
The waterfall is located on the protected river Verkeån in the municipality of Tomelilla about 6 km southwest of Brösarp and about 2.5 km northwest of Eljaröd. Like the Forsakar waterfall , about 20 kilometers north of Hallamölla, it is located on the eastern side of the Linderödsåsen ridge .
The waterfall was used economically from the 15th century until the end of 1948 by a water mill , which also gave the waterfall its name. Hall is an old word here for bare rock. Mölla / mølle means "mill" (in Danish ).
