Teinefossen (I think is pronounced "TYE-nuh-foss-un") is a wide 9m tall waterfall on the Tovdal River near Birkeland. According to the signs here, the river is supposedly good for fishing (though we don't fish so we can't really say if that's true or not). The sign also indicated that we could've been able to swim here.
We were able to get decent frontal views of the falls from the road bridge crossing over the Tovdal River.
But given the relative ease of spotting this waterfall, it wasn't a stretch to combine a waterfall visit here with Flakkefossen.
Directions: The driving directions were given in the Flakkefossen page.
