Likholefossen Waterfall

Likholefossen is one of the 29 waterfalls along the protected Gaula River. It is of particular significance due to the modern steel bridge from 2006 leading above the falls. The waterfall is at its most powerful in the early summer when melting snow fills the river.

Likholefossen is one of the access points for the Fossestien Waterfall Trail and a great spot to stop for lunch when the sun is shining. It’s also the trailhead for a hike up to Knausen.
