Svøufossen
Svøufossen is another of the three major waterfalls converging on the community of Åmotan. This one is said to have a total drop of 313m where 156m of it is a vertical freefall. Getting a good view of this waterfall requires walking a little beyond the spot where you get good views of Reppdalsfossen. The trail goes steeply downhill towards the misty base of this waterfall soon thereafter. To drive to the car park for this waterfall, follow the directions given in the Reppdalsfossen page. Note if you did happen to cross the bridge over Gjøra (thereby missing the spur to the Jenstad farm), then you'll be on a steep, narrow, but paved switchback where a pullout takes you near the top of the falls. The views from here aren't great, but you can definitely feel the force and verticality this waterfall exhibits. Tell us about your experience with this waterfall.
