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…
Langfoss
Langfoss (literally pronounced and translated like “Long Falls”) was a powerful cascading waterfall that tumbled down almost the entire length of a mountainside before spilling into the Åkra Fjord…
Espelandsfossen
Espelandsfossen was the first of a handful of major waterfalls that we encountered in Oddadalen (Odda Valley). So it wasn’t surprising to us that this valley was also known as the Valley of…
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
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…
Kvasfossen
Kvasfossen (or Kvåsfossen; I think is pronounced “KVOS-foss-un”) was the lone waterfall we saw in the Vest-Agder county during our June 2005 trip. In order to see this waterfall, we took a fairly…
Tengsfossen
Tengsfossen was a waterfall that Julie and I stumbled upon accidentally. We actually mistook this waterfall for a different waterfall called Fotlandsfossen as we actually sought out Fotlandsfossen…
Manafossen
Manafossen (or Månafossen; I think it’s pronounced “MOH-nuh-foss-un”) was definitely our favorite waterfall in Rogaland county, and it was probably the first major waterfall that made us go…
Rjukanfossen and the Waterfalls near Rjukan
Rjukanfossen (I think it’s pronounced “RHEE-oo-kahn-foss-n”) was the main waterfall attraction near the town of Rjukan. When flowing, it would feature a 104m drop right at the head of the Maristu…
