Espeland Falls

1

Espeland Falls is a 135 m tall waterfall located in the Espeland Valley in Voss Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. The falls are located just above large Lake Espeland, near the border of Voss and neighboring municipality of Ulvik. Due to an urban legend, Espeland Falls is sometimes erroneously claimed to be 2307 ft tall. One theory is that the erroneous information may have originated from a misunderstanding of the concept meters of head in relation to the development of the Espeland River for hydropower. Another theory is that there may have been a mixup with Skrikjofossen in Lofthus, Ullensvang, a 455 m tall waterfall located about 60 km south of Espeland Falls.
