Trollafoss
Trollafoss was an exercise in frustration when I went looking for it on my trip to Iceland. First of all, you have to follow a rough 4wd path. Although there was a sign at…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Svoufossen and Reppdalsfossen
Svoufossen (Svøufossen or Svøufallet) was the first of the three major waterfalls we saw converging on the community of Åmotan (apparently meaning “converging of the rivers”). Julie and I initially…
Linndalsfossen
Linndalsfossen (I’ve also seen it referred to as Linndalsfallet) was the last of the three waterfalls that I saw from the community of Åmotan (especially near the Jenstad Farm). Åmotan was special…
Vinnufossen and the Sunndal Waterfalls
Vinnufossen was a waterfall that we had never identified even though we had seen and photographed it as part of our late evening drive through the valley Sunndalen going east from Sunndalsøra to…
Strandfossen
Strandfossen was a tall waterfall that we noticed during our excursion into Eikesdalen Valley to see Mardalsfossen. It was a conspicuous presence as it was facing the Eresfjord at the mouth…
Naustafossen
Naustafossen (or Nauståfossen; I think is pronounced “NAUS-toh-foss-un”) was our reward for doing a rather long, out-of-the-way detour towards the Trollheimen Mountains of the Surnadal Municipality…
Other Eikesdalen Waterfalls
It seemed to Julie and I that a very underappreciated part of Eikesdalen Valley was further up the valley from the famous Mardalsfossen. This was where we found a plethora of big but unnamed…
Slettafossen
Slettafossen was a waterfall that puzzled both Julie and I. When we pulled into the well-signed and relatively big car park and picnic area, we expected to see a bonafide major waterfall…
