The somewhat macabre origin of the name "Likholefossen", meaning "mortuary waterfall", comes from the fact that some of the upper farms in the valley could not transport their dead to the church in one day. The coffin was then temporarily stored under a stone slab by the waterfall. (Wikipedia)

In my opinion this is the best photo spot of the bridge and the waterfall. Here are the remains of a small hydroelectric power station in a wooden hut.

Here you can see Likfossen from above. But the view from the bridge is better.
