Fiskumfossen is a waterfall where there is a 2.7 MW hydropower plant. There is also a salmon museum as well as a salmon ladder and a restaurant.
Inside the museum, there is a big aquarium where salmons are raised.
The Fiskumfoss Waterfall is 34,5 metres high. Inside the waterfall there's a salmon ladder.
One of the most interesting place is the Salmon studio - a pond with glass where you can se the salmon swim in its natural environment on it's way up the ladder. The salmon stays in the studio for a couple of days before it continues up the ladder and upper parts of the river where it spawns.
