"Ofossen er ei gamaldags mølle. Maling av bygg har foregått her i mange generasjonar. Bygg har på mange måtar vore eit slags gull for Skjåk-bygda. Gardbrukarane sette æra si i å produsere bygg av den beste kvalitet. Ved Ofossen starta aktiviteten med ei lita bekkekvern, men det vart bruk for større kapasitet. Mølla vart gradvis bygd ut, og folk kom frå gardar i mest heile Skjåk for å mala kornet sitt. Dette gjorde at Ofossen vart ein samlingsstad, dermed vart det både ysteri, skofabrikk, butikk og kafe her. Mølleområdet ligg i kanten av eit delta som fortel ei nesten titusen år gamal historie. Deltaet vart danna i ei bredemd sjø som skvulpa i dalsidene av det som er Skjåk i dag." Kilde: www.visitnorway.com Nå produseres Skjåkmjøl og Skjåkgryn ved mølla. Ofossen PUB har egen Facebookside. Lom og Skjåk Adventure har sitt hovedkvarter her. Se: www.lsadventure.no Parking is possible between the two bridges. Cross the small bridge and walk through some grass to find the cache. It has a log, pencil and small gifts. FTF-coin to the first finder. Official website is: www.ofossenmolle.no. "Ofossen is an old fashioned mill. It's been here for many generations. Barley has in many ways been a kind of gold for Skjåk. Farmers put honor bound to produce barley of the highest quality. The activity started with a small mill, but there was need for greater capacity. The mill was gradually developed, and people came from farms all over Skjåk to grind their barley. This meant that Ofossen became a gathering place, therefore a cheese factory, shoe factory, shop and a cafe became located here. The mill area is situated at the edge of a delta that tells a nearly ten thousand years old history. It was formed in a wide lake sloshing the valleys of what is Skjåk today.
