Country: Norway
Starefossen
Starefossen could very well be the closest named waterfall to the city center of Bergen. You’d think that with such fortunate positioning that this waterfall ought to get more notoriety…
Ringedalsfossen and the Trolltunga Waterfalls
Ringedalsfossen (also known as Skjeggedalsfossen) was definitely the most conspicuous waterfall in the Skjeggedal Valley, and it acted as my waterfalling excuse to go on the epic hike to Trolltunga.
Sagfossen and the Rullestad Waterfalls
Sagfossen was a conspicuous waterfall that we spotted while driving the E134 between Skarre and the nearby Langfossen Waterfall. Back when Julie and I first noticed this waterfall, we didn’t…
“Kjeragfossen”
“Kjeragfossen” was pretty much the main waterfall that I associate with the epic hike to the rock wedged between two vertical cliffs known as Kjeragbolten or often just Kjerag. Of the numerous…
Hunnedalen Waterfalls
The point of this Hunnedalen Waterfalls page was to acknowledge the scenic valleys and waterfalls that we encountered on the drive between Sirdal and Dirdal. It pretty much covered the stretch of…
Preikestolen Waterfalls
This Preikestolen Waterfalls page was kind of my waterfalling excuse to talk about the famous and impressive Preikestolen formation. That said, I did spot some noteworthy waterfalls on both the…
Elgafossen (Algafallet)
Elgafossen (or more accurately Elgåfossen in Norwegian and Älgafallet in Swedish) was a shared waterfall between Norway and Sweden. In fact, its watercourse on a tributary of the Enningdalsälven…
Sarpsfossen
Sarpsfossen (also referred to as Sarpefossen in the Norgeskart map) showed itself to us as a frighteningly powerful waterfall on the Glomma River in the city of Sarpsborg. Ordinarily I don’t tend…
Rovijokfossen
Rovijokfossen (I’ve also seen it spelled Rovvejokfossen and Ruvijokfossen) was the last waterfall we saw on our epic June-July 2005 trip to Norway. Also, it could very well be the waterfall that…
Malselvfossen
Malselvfossen (Målselvfossen; “MOHLS-elv-foss-un”) was a waterfall that Julie and I made a spontaneous stop for after noticing some signage as we were driving north along the E6 from Narvik towards…
Mollisfossen
Mollisfossen was perhaps our favorite of the waterfalls we had encountered north of the Arctic Cricle so far. It was said to have a total drop of 269m that started off with upper cascades…
Fosselvfossen
Fosselvfossen was a waterfall that Julie and I never even knew about until we just happened to notice it on a paper place mat in a cafe in Storslett as we were having a late lunch/dinner after…
“Ytre Isfossen”, “Indre Isfossen”, “Bafossen”, “Oksefossen”, and the Kafjorden Waterfalls
The Kafjorden Waterfalls page (more accurately spelled Kåfjorden in Norwegian or Gáivuotna in Sami) was a page where I’m attributing the waterfalls we’ve seen as we were driving the E6 highway…
Sprutfossen
Sprutfossen was a bit of a disappointment to Julie and I. We originally thought that the detour into the Plurdal Valley (Plurdalen) where we’d find this waterfall would only take us about 30…
Formofossen
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
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
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
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
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…
Mardalsfossen
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…
