Visit Kristiansand - Waterfalls Kristiansand Norway
There is a beautiful waterfall in a little town called Boen (Tveit) in Kristiansand. There is a small bridge that crosses over the waterfall where you can stand and take pictures.
This place is very popular for people fishing for the famous
Norwegian salmon.
Located next to the waterfall is the Boen Wood Factory. This
factory was made in the 1800's and has been making floor
boards and other wooden products since. The company exports
its wood to different countries all over the world. The
then owners
of the factory built a massive beautiful farm next to
the factory called Boen Gård. Many
people stop and look at the property and it is very popular
for wedding photos. It is private
property, so you cannot drive into the farm, but some walk
up the path to the property and take pictures.
The currents are strong at the waterfall but still people go
down the waterfall and in the recent past, children have
drowned doing this, so we suggest that you do not swim near
the waterfall.
There are swimming areas further up the road in the river.
On a hot sunny day, the water in the river is very clean and
refreshing should you want to take a swim. (Watch out for
the salmon though!)
Just up the road from the waterfall is a convenience store
(food store) called Joker. Its location is also on the map.
You can buy a fishing licence here should you wish to fish
in the river.
