Waterfall Safety and Common Sense

Mordolefossen (or more accurately Mordølefossen) was a waterfall that Julie and I nearly confused with the more conspicuous Feigefossen nearby as they seemed to have a somewhat uncanny resemblance.

It turned out that we noticed this waterfall (just barely) as we were driving back from Jostedalen and headed towards Skjolden.

That was when Julie spotted the falls from across the Luster Fjord (Lustrafjorden) and she captured it with her camera from the car while I was busy concentrating on the narrow road.

I was only able to identify this waterfall by name after the trip when we realized that Norgesglasset gave it a name.

When I came back 14 years later in 2019, I made sure to see how else this falls could be experienced.

What I found on that trip was that there were a handful of pullouts, including a picnic area, along the narrow Fv55 between Skjolden and Luster.

Mordølefossen fell on the Mordalselvi, and it seemed to have reliable flow given that it was sourced by several lakes and tarns beneath Larsokfjellet and feeding Mordalen..

For all intents and purposes, experiencing this waterfall was a roadside affair.

The tricky part was knowing when and where to pull over considering how stressful driving the Fv55 can be due to its narrow width while supporting bi-directional traffic.
