Vermafossen or Vermefossen
The river Verma flows in steep cascades, splits in three canals, and finally drops about 50 metres (160 ft) into the main river. The total height is about 380 metres (1,250 ft) along the 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) of the Verma river.
The flow of the Verma river is regulated by dams and used at the Verma power station (originally built in 1923, expanded in 1953). The dam is about 420 metres (1,380 ft) above the power station. About 70
The Rauma Line runs on a 26-metre (85 ft) long bridge (constructed 1918-1923) across the lower part of the waterfall.[8]
