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…

Vettisfossen from above

It’s already a long walk to the base of Vettisfossen, but better views can be had by taking the bridge across the main river before you reach the base of the falls and then hiking up a long, steep trail that goes high up above the fall on the other side of the valley to […]

Train up (Flamsbana) and bike down the mountain!

Our group – three adults – two kids – took the train up and biked down the mountain last week (August 1 2011). We rented bikes – next to the train station – which are loaded on the train with you. Up at Myrtle you get off and bike down 22 kilometers. I have to […]

Vettisfossen Cairn

Hello there, Have been admiring your site and the huge amount of waterfalls you and your wife have managed to tick off around the globe – very impressive, well done guys. My wife (Karen) and I enjoy getting our feet wet too and enjoyed many happy times in Yosemite a couple of years back. Last […]

Ken Foshaug (Målselvfossen)

My last name is derived from this area of Norway. Foshaug – Fos meaning waterfall and haug meaning hill. My Great-great-great grandfather moved from southern Norway to the Malselv valley in the early 1800’s and built a homestead on the hill northwest of the [Malselv waterfall] – hence the name derivation. I traveled to this […]

Teinefossen waterfall – Birkeland (Aust-Agder county)

Hello! I thought you might want to see a couple of my photos of Teinefossen called “Pastel night” and “Teinefossen revisited”. Birkeland is my birthplace and this waterfall is one of the most picturesque places in the area (thus there are plenty of magnificent landscape views). 0 CommentsOnly logged in users can post a comment […]

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…

“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…

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…

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…
