Hallamölla Waterfall – Skåne’s highest and perhaps most enchanting waterfall.

Silence is not a rule—it is an invitation. It is not about restraining speech, but about allowing everything to settle. When words fall away, the mind loses its usual distractions, and what remains is the simple presence that was always here.

Silence does not mean effort or discipline. It is not something you must maintain. It is something you relax into. At first, the urge to speak may arise—the habit of filling space, of reacting, of shaping yourself through words. But if you stay with the silence, you will see that it is a gate into your own beingness.

The surrounding landscape invites you to explore the lush forests, flowing streams, and nearby waterfalls, offering the perfect setting for silent walks and quiet contemplation.
