Kistefoss, Waterfall in Jevnaker and Ringerike, Norway.
The Kistefoss waterfall cascades down a height between 9.7 and 10.5 meters in the Randselva river, forming a natural boundary between two municipalities.
In 1889, Kistefos Træsliberi established industrial operations at the waterfall site, which continued until 1955 when the facility ceased production activities.
The former industrial site transformed into Kistefos Museum in 1996, incorporating outdoor sculptures and contemporary art installations along the riverside paths.
Two power stations, Kistefoss I completed in 1938 and Kistefoss II in 1956, harness the waterfall's energy for electricity generation.
The measuring station at Kistefoss, operational since 1916, records five different measurements including water flow, level, and temperature throughout the year.
