Mölndal literally means ‘valley of the mills’. The Kvarnby waterfalls provided the power needed for the first mills and factories. At the time, the site was unspoilt, and gradually, as industrialisation took hold, the town developed around the waterfall, making it a rarity: a natural waterfall in the middle of a town. It is now a local tourist attraction, easily accessible on foot from Mölndal railway station and tram stop.
