Fossen Bratte

The Fossen Bratte waterfall drops 79 meters in a single cascade, creating a powerful display as the river Eikedalselva flows down the rock face.

During World War II, Norwegian resistance fighters used the waterfall area as a strategic position against German forces advancing through the region in April 1940.

A memorial plaque at the waterfall base commemorates a French couple, Rene and Ginette Laigle, who lost their lives at this location in 1951.

Visitors can access the waterfall through a 1-kilometer round trip trail that starts behind the restroom facilities near the Fossenbrattetunnelen parking area.

The site features two distinct memorials: a cannon installation honoring World War II resistance and a plaque remembering the 1951 incident.
