Åmotan
OSeven watercourses meet at Åmotan in a fan-shaped river system that has steep mountain cliffs, moraine ridges and terraces. Three of these rivers form spectacular waterfalls at Åmotan. The area is well adapted with well-marked trails in a distinctive landscape. Botanically, the area is one of the richest in the country, and the mountain farms that surround the river gorge continue to practice their traditional operations. Åmotan can be experienced up close via waymarked hiking trails – or from vantage points on the road between Gjøra and Grødalen valley.
