Formofossen was a powerful river waterfall on the Sanddøla River with a reported drop of 34m. I doubted that the waterfall’s main plunge was that tall based on what we were able to see, which the…

Grongstadfossen (I’ve also seen it spelled Grungstadfossen) was said to be the tallest waterfall in the Høylandet municipality at 75m. From the picnic area where we parked the car and got the view…

Laksforsen was probably the first substantial waterfall that we had seen in a while as we had made a brutally long drive from Trondheim (in Sør-Trøndelag County) north to Mo I Rana (in Nordland…

Bredekfossen was a rather obscure, out-of-the-way 61m waterfall that I saw tumble over a series of powerful drops on the watercourse called Stormdalsåga. There really wasn’t a whole lot of…

Henfallet (pronounced “HEN-fall-uh”) was unlike the other waterfalls we had visited throughout Norway in that this giant wasn’t near any of the famous fjords along the country’s west. In fact, it…

Svoufossen (Svøufossen or Svøufallet) was the first of the three major waterfalls we saw converging on the community of Åmotan (apparently meaning “converging of the rivers”). Julie and I initially…

Linndalsfossen (I’ve also seen it referred to as Linndalsfallet) was the last of the three waterfalls that I saw from the community of Åmotan (especially near the Jenstad Farm). Åmotan was special…

Mardalsfossen was a waterfall that certainly impressed Julie and I, and we tended to think of it in much the same way that we think of Yosemite Falls. In fact, going into our visit to this falls…

It seemed to Julie and I that a very underappreciated part of Eikesdalen Valley was further up the valley from the famous Mardalsfossen. This was where we found a plethora of big but unnamed…

Strandfossen was a tall waterfall that we noticed during our excursion into Eikesdalen Valley to see Mardalsfossen. It was a conspicuous presence as it was facing the Eresfjord at the mouth…

Naustafossen (or Nauståfossen; I think is pronounced “NAUS-toh-foss-un”) was our reward for doing a rather long, out-of-the-way detour towards the Trollheimen Mountains of the Surnadal Municipality…

Vinnufossen was a waterfall that we had never identified even though we had seen and photographed it as part of our late evening drive through the valley Sunndalen going east from Sunndalsøra to…

As I was taking the best photos that I could of Muldalsfossen (foliage in the way and all), I realized that something kept touching my behind – and it was breathing…

Muldalsfossen was a tall 200m waterfall that I anticipated seeing ever since I came across it during my pre-trip research as well as some tourism brochures I pcked up during our trip to Norway…

Stigfossen and Tverrdalsfossen were the pair of main waterfalls surrounding the famous 11-turn serpentine road Trollstigen (“the troll ladder”). This memorable scene of steep switchbacking roads…

After our viewing of Vermafossen, our next waterfall stop was actually a trio of waterfalls in close proximity to each other. Each of the waterfalls in this trio were tall and impressive…

Vermafossen was our favorite of the waterfalls we encountered while driving through the valley Romsdalen. That was no small feat considering that there were numerous waterfalls that we found…

Slettafossen was a waterfall that puzzled both Julie and I. When we pulled into the well-signed and relatively big car park and picnic area, we expected to see a bonafide major waterfall…

The Romsdalen Waterfalls page is where I’m clumping the various roadside or nearly roadside waterfalls that didn’t seem to have obvious infrastructure or literature devoted to the numerous…

The Seven Sisters Waterfall were certainly the most famous of the waterfalls in the Geiranger Fjord (Geirangerfjorden). Julie and I did the cruise on the world famous Geirangerfjord largely…
