Espelandsfossen

Espelandsfossen (Espelands Falls) is a 75 m (246 ft) tall waterfall located in Espelandsdalen (the Espeland Valley), Granvin in Hardanger, Norway.

Due to an urban legend, Espelandsfossen is sometimes erroneously claimed to be 2,307 feet 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 waterfall located about 60 km south of Espelandsfossen.
