Lower Mar Valley Falls
Lower Mar Valley Falls, known in
Norwegian as
Ostra Mardola Fossen (or
Ostra Mardalsfossen) is one of the ten highest
waterfalls in the world. It is the fourth highest in
Norway, after Utigardsfossen, Mongefossen and Tyssestrengene.
The water, which has been tapped for hydroelectric use, flows over the falls during the summer tourist season. At other times the water is channeled through the hydroelectric scheme.
