"Storfossen" is an informally named waterfall (I got the name from my waterfall collecting friend Olaf Helwig). I probably wouldn't even have bothered to look for this waterfall if it wasn't for him.

So I reckon it would probably dry up not deep into the Summer if it hadn't rained for a while.
Directions: The falls is situated in the moors of Suldal just to the southeast of Sand. It is near the lake Mosvatnet (I think is pronounced "MOOS-vat-nuh").
From Sand, I went about 11km east on Rv13 before turning right onto a local road climbing steeply up some narrow switchbacks (with a tunnel thrown in there). The view of the falls seen in the photo above was roughly 7km or so on that local road right across from Mosvatnet.
