Gedebæksfaldet is located in Almindingen in the central part of Bornholm, near Ekkodalen, which is the island’s longest rift valley. The waterfall is formed by the Gedebæk stream, which flows through the area and drops over a steep rock face along the side of the valley.
The waterfall itself has a free fall of approximately 22–23 metres and is often described as Denmark’s highest waterfall. The drop occurs directly down the rock face without significant ledges, resulting in a continuous and clearly defined vertical fall.
The water flow varies considerably throughout the year. During periods of rainfall or snowmelt, the waterfall is clearly visible, while in dry periods it may be difficult to see or may disappear entirely.
Gedebæksfaldet is situated in an area characterised by steep rock faces, woodland and meadowland, where the Læså stream runs along the valley floor. Ekkodalen forms part of a larger system of rift valleys that stretches across Bornholm and was created by tensions in the bedrock.
The easiest access to the waterfall is from the parking area at Ekkodalshuset. From here, the path leads into Ekkodalen and continues along the established boardwalk and trail system towards Jægergrotten and Dronningeklippen. The waterfall lies along this route and can be reached after a short walk through the valley.
Gedebæksfaldet is therefore best experienced as part of a walk through Ekkodalen, where it forms one of several points of interest within a larger, connected natural landscape.
