The victim was a Norwegian woman (44). The third victim was an American (52). This happened in July, 2016.
Nederlands: De Hivjufossen is een 250 meter hoge waterval in Hovet in de gemeente Hol in de Noorse provincie Buskerud. Enkele kilometers voorbij het centrum van het dorpje Hovet, richting Aurland, is een gemarkeerde hike-track naar de Hivjufossen. De majestueuze waterval is een toeristische attractie en is alleen bereikbaar na 40 minuten klimmen. De waterval kwam in het nieuws toen op 3 augustus 2007 een Nederlander (40) in de waterval viel en dodelijk verongelukte. Hij was het tweede dodelijke slachtoffer. In 1991 verongelukte een Noorse vrouw (44) en op 24 juli 2016 een Amerikaan (52). |
