Skjervsfossen
It was fairly straightforward for us to get a nice view of the upper tier as there were pullouts and space on the bridge right in front of the falls. However, getting a look at the lower tier wasn't quite as straight forward. I also learned during our research that apparently there was a trail leading to the top of the upper falls where there was said to be a picnic table as well as some views. There was also some impressive waterfall due east of here near the town of Spildo called Skorvefossen (also Skarvefossen). However, we didn't do any of these so we can't say more about them. Directions: Skjervsfossen is about 7km north of the Rv572/Rv13 intersection along the Rv13. There are pullouts next to the bridge spanning the watercourse on which the falls flows. However, to get that comprehensive view you see at the top of this page, you have to continue along Rv13 for about 500m past the bridge. That was where there was an awkward pullout at the end of the first of the hairpin switchbacks. I think there was only room for one or two cars, which wasn't too bad to get in. However, getting out required us to back up into the traffic so that was something we really had to be careful about.
