Svanfossen, Waterfall in Nes, Norway.

The Svanfossen waterfall forms part of the Vorma River system, creating a natural cascade between rocky formations in Akershus county.

The construction of the Svanfoss dam in 1910 marked a significant change in water regulation, enabling better control of water levels in Lake Mjøsa.

The waterfall and its lock system represent the industrial heritage of Norway, connecting the waterways between Lake Mjøsa and the Glomma River.

Visitors can arrange boat passages through the Svanfoss lock by contacting the lock keeper at least one hour before intended transit.

The lock at Svanfossen underwent a complete renovation and reopened in 1993 following a 20-year closure, restoring river navigation capabilities.
