Likholefossen

Likholefossen is a waterfall in the municipality of Gaular, it is localized by the farm Hov in Eldalsdalen.

The origin of the name is from the old days when some of the farms at the end of the valley couldn't transport their dead ones to church in one day, they would then store the coffin underneath flagstones in the waterfall.
