Låtefossen

Låtefossen is a waterfall in Ullensvang formed by two separate streams flowing down from Lake Lotevatnet that merge before tumbling beneath National Road 13. The two flows create a wide cascade that looks most powerful in spring and after heavy rain.

A six-arched stone bridge has spanned this location since its construction between 1867 and 1869, showing early regional infrastructure development. The bridge provided safe passage where water once dominated the landscape.

The 165-meter waterfall forms part of Oddadalen valley, where seven waterfalls create a natural corridor that draws visitors from across Norway.

Water flows with such force that vehicles on the bridge receive a natural spray from the waterfall below. Visitors find parking easily near the bridge and can access the spot directly from the road.

The water streams flow with such force that vehicles crossing the bridge experience a natural shower effect from the cascading water beneath.
