About: Fossen (Fauske)

An Entity of Type: SpatialThing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Fossen (literally, 'the waterfall') is a waterfall along the Sjønstå River in Nordland county, Norway. It is about 9 kilometers (5.6 mi) upriver from the Sjønstå farm in the municipality of Fauske. In 1892, the Sulitjelma Line was built between Sjønstå and Fossen, replacing an unimproved road from 1888. Ore from Sulitjelma Mines was transported by boat across Langvatnet (Long Lake) from Sulitjelma to Fossen, and then by rail from Fossen to Sjønstå to be taken by boat via Øvervatnet (Upper Lake) and Nedrevatnet (Lower Lake), so that it could be sent by ship from Finneid along Skjerstad Fjord. The line was extended from Fossen to a year later.
