Voringsfossen (Vøringsfossen; I think is pronounced “VEWH-rings-foss-un”) was definitely one of the waterfall highlights of our visit to the Eidfjord Municipality. The falls dazzled us with what…

Skykkjedalsfossen (I think it’s pronounced “SKIK-sheh-dahls-foss-un”) was an impressive plunging waterfall deep in the narrow Simadal Valley (Simadalen). Prior to our visit to this falls, Julie…

Vedalsfossen was actually one of many roadside waterfalls that we encountered while driving on the narrow and steep road through the Hjølmo Valley (Hjølmodalen; [pronounced “YEUWHL-moo-dal-un”])…
