Latefossen also pronounced like Lotefossen
was maybe the most popular and melodramatic of the waterfalls in Oddadalen (the
Odda Valley). Though almost all of the waterfalls existed in the
waterfall-laced Oddadalen were remarkable. However; you must try to keep your camera
lens dry while attempting to take a clean all-encompassing photo of it given
the nearly constant mist being thrown in our direction.
The car parking on the opposite
of the bridge is completed in 1859 a little downstream of the base of the
falls! The falls was also said to be part of the protected Opo Watershed so its
year-round flow and existence would be assured. By the way, this protected
watershed also allowed Oddadal Valley's numerous other waterfalls to persist as
well. Låtefossen is the king among of all waterfalls and an internationally
famous attraction.
The forceful flow came from the
lake Lotevatnet, which itself drained much larger lakes in the highlands of the
vast Hardanger Plateau. The waterfall has a different name called Skarsfossen,
while the more northern waterfall was supposed to have the name Låtefossen.
The direction of Latefossen is on
the southern part of Odda Valley (aka the Valley of Waterfalls) along the Rv13
about 15 kilometers south of Odda and 3km north of the E134/Rv13 junction by
Skarre. It's about 350m north of Espelandsfossen and roughly 7 kilometers south
of Vidfoss.
