An old farm up on the hills next to seven sisters waterfall. You have to hike up here and the trailhead is only accesible by boat.

The Knivsflå farm is another unique place to visit and to get a real sense of how people used to live in this extreme place. The drop off the top of the cliff is so precarious that the farmers had to tie up their children when they were outside playing in order to stop them from falling over the edge.

The Knivsflå farm was abandoned in 1898 by the family that lived there, since there was a constant danger of falling rocks from the steep mountain cliffs behind.
