One such story said that when the flow of the falls is "just right," there's a rock formation that resembles the shape of a woman. Apparently, cruise liners on Sognefjorden used to pull up close to the falls to try to view this phenomenon. Another story says a woman plunged to her death at these falls and thus was named in her honor. Finally, some believed the falls can make a screaming sound reminiscent of some woman either in distress or in a state of joy.

We couldn't corroborate these claims as we didn't see or experience anything that backed up those stories. Nonetheless, I thought this was an attractive roadside waterfall and definitely worth the little detour we took to get here.

Apparently when the flow of this waterfall is highest (usually during the melting snow season of Spring), its mist often shrouds the Rv55 giving passing vehicles a car wash. But that wasn't the case when we were here in late June 2005.
