From a paved clearing (see directions below) we followed an an unpaved dirt path leading downhill towards a sheltered picnic area with a fenced view at the brink of the falls. The trail continued to descend further downstream over some wooden steps. It ultimately led to a rock outcropping giving us a more distant profile view of the falls. However, this stairway and outcropping felt dangerous since the river was flowing hard. I couldn't believe there was even a ladder leading right into the river (probably only useful when the river is low), because I'm sure a slip and fall into the river here would've been fatal.

Now something that really got our attention while visiting this waterfall were some signs indicating the presence of parasites that were wiping out a large portion of the salmon population. Salmon fishing comprises a large part of the Norwegian economy so I'm sure this was a devastating calamity at the time (we were there in July 2005). To my knowledge, it's still not known what caused this parasite outbreak or if it's still persisting to this day.

Directions: Look for signs leading you to this waterfall as you drive north on the E6 in the Nord-Trøndelag county near the township of Formofoss (Grong municipality). I think the turnoff leaving the E6 towards the falls was around 180km north of Trondheim.
