Tvindefossen is a spectacular waterfall near Voss, Norway. The many-stranded waterfall, around 110 m high, is formed by a small stream, the Kroelvi tumbling over a receding cliff. Busses on the road from Flam to Voss often stop to admire its beauty, as do tourists galore. Bizarrely, in the late 1990s the water at Tvindefossen acquired a reputation for rejuvenation and revival of sexual potency; this made it one of the most important natural tourist attractions in western Norway, with as many as 200,000 people a year from the , Japan and Russia visiting and filling containers with the water. I suspect the person who made up this story is still counting the moneyÉ!
