===The Salmon Stairs===
William T. Potts from Coreen Castle in [[Ireland]] initiated the building of the salmon stairs (a type of [[fish ladder]]), which were completed in 1871, in return for an agreement made with the farmers that had 25 years of free fishing. The salmon stairs at Osen in Bygstad are the oldest in the world. The stairs consist of 17 pools/stages and has height of around {{convert|11|m}}. It is very effective as the salmon are forced to make their way up the stair construction, due to the current below the falls.<ref name="go" />

===National Tourist Road===
[[Norwegian County Road 13|Fylkesvei 13]] (Fv13) is one of 18 national tourist roads in Norway because of the nearby waterfalls. From near the town of [[Førde (town)|Førde]], drivers start on a sightseeing journey with cultural attractions that date from the 19th century to the present day's city environment.
