Nedre Foss, Natural waterfall in Akerselva River, Oslo, Norway.
The Nedre Foss waterfall spans 10 meters in width and descends 3 meters along the Akerselva River through central Oslo's residential area.
During the 13th century, the waterfall powered Norway's first mill, which operated continuously until its demolition in 1986, supporting local agriculture and industry.
The waterfall site transformed from an industrial center into a modern urban park in 2017, reflecting Oslo's evolution from manufacturing to environmental preservation.
Visitors can reach the waterfall through walking paths along Akerselva River, with safety fences installed to protect both people and local wildlife.
A fish ladder constructed in 2014 enables salmon and trout to navigate past the waterfall's vertical drop to reach their spawning grounds upstream.
