Voringsfossen

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…

Vedalsfossen and the Hjolmodalen Waterfalls

Valursfossen

Valursfossen certainly had to be one of the most memorable hikes Julie and I had ever done. This wild and powerful waterfall on the Velg River was said to be 262m tall but I also saw a more…

Sandsfossen

Sandsfossen was kind of a throw-in waterfall near the town of Sandsfjord-fringing town of Sand. We only became aware of this waterfall when we saw a sign indicating its presence while we were…

“Storfossen”

“Storfossen” was an informal name we chose to associate with this rather obscure, wispy yet attratively tall waterfall in the moors of Suldal (near the lake Mosvatnet, which I think is pronounced

Hongavikfossen

Hongavikfossen was a roadside waterfall spilling from high up the western cliffs flanking the Saudafjord before tumbling besides a tunnel (Hongavikfossentunnelen) then ultimately feeding the fjord…

Svandalsfossen

Svandalsfossen caught our attention as it noticeably tumbled right besides the Rv520, which was close enough to send its spray right onto the road. The pullout on the north side of the bridge…

Sauda to Roldal Waterfalls

The Sauda to Røldal Waterfalls page is where I’m paying homage to the numerous waterfalls we encountered as we drove along this stretch of the Rv520 mostly through moorish highlands between…

Latefossen

Latefossen was probably the most popular and dramatic of the waterfalls in Oddadalen (the Odda Valley). Although we thought almost all of the waterfalls we encountered in Oddadalen were spectacular…

Vidfoss

Vidfoss was the third waterfall we saw within Oddadalen (the Odda Valley) as we were heading north towards the town of Odda. It was an attractively wide yet tall waterfall (allegedly 300m in…

Strondsfossen

Strondsfossen was the fourth waterfall we encountered while driving through Oddadalen north towards Odda. With so many huge waterfalls here, any wonder why they call the Odda Valley the “Valley of…

Tjornadalsfossen

Tjornadalsfossen (Tjørnadalsfossen; pronounced “TYURD-nuh-dahls-foss-un”) was a waterfall that we almost missed out on for we weren’t really aware of its presence. Indeed, it took an accidental…

Furebergsfossen

Furebergsfossen (I’ve also seen it spelled Furubergsfossen) was a waterfall that presented us quite the challenge to experience despite it being a roadside waterfall. The problem was that…

AEdnafossen and the Folgefonna Waterfalls

AEdnafossen (Ædnafossen [maybe pronounced “ED-nuh-foss-un” and alternatively spelled Ednafossen]) was probably the most scenic of the many waterfalls we noticed while driving alongside Sørfjorden…

Skrikjofossen and Opofossen was a waterfall pair that made their plunge and tumble from the highlands of the Hardanger Plateau towards the South Fjord (Sørfjorden) by the town of Lofthus…

Flakkefossen

Flakkefossen was a seemingly obscure waterfall that I had targeted for a visit given its somewhat close proximity to the southern Norwegian town of Kristiansand. Little did I realize that I would…

Teinefossen

Teinefossen (which I think was pronounced “TYE-nuh-foss-un”) was a waterfall that I stumbled upon while I was seeking out Flakkefossen. Strangely enough, even though I had targeted Flakkefossen on…
