Denne boksen er plassert ved Tvinnefossen, ein foss du kan gå under.

Norsk:
Dette er ein majestetisk foss som under stor vassføring er eit vakkert syn. Den er ein del av elva Tvinna som startar frå Klebergsdalsvatnet på ca 660 m.o.h. Det spesielle med denne fossen er at du kan gå under den, også ved stor vassføring. Grunnen til at dette er mogeleg er delvis fordi det i tidlegare tider vart skote ut noko stein der. Fossen er eit ynda fotomotiv, som oftast sett frå innsida.

Under stor vassføring bør du vere forsiktige når du går under fossen. Ver førebudd på at du kan bli ganske våt p.g.a. vassdrev. Gå ikkje nedanfor kjettinggjerdet under fossen, cachen ligg ikkje der.

Utanom dei siste meterane er det ein lett 30-40 min spasertur frå parkeringsplassen til cachen.

English:
This is a majestic waterfall that is a beautiful sight, specially during big flow. It is part of the river Tvinna, starting at Klebergsdalsvatnet at about 660 m.a.s. The waterfall is at about 180 m.a.s. The uniqueness about it is that you can walk behind it, also during big flow. The reason for this is partly because it has been mined for rock there in earlier times. The waterfall is a popular photography subject, usually from the inside looking out.

You should be extra careful while walking behind the waterfall during high flow. Be prepared to become quite wet from the spray. Do not enter below the chain fence when you walk behind the fall. The cache is not in that dangerous area.

Other than the last few meters it's an easy walk to the cache. Expect about 30-40 min walking from the parking to the cache.
