Kleivafossen, Svaaafossen, Olmaafossen, and the Romsdalen Waterfalls
The Romsdalen Waterfalls page is where I’m clumping the various roadside or nearly roadside waterfalls that didn’t seem to have obvious infrastructure or literature devoted to the numerous…
Dontefossen, Gravdefossen, and “Skogagrovafossen”
After our viewing of Vermafossen, our next waterfall stop was actually a trio of waterfalls in close proximity to each other. Each of the waterfalls in this trio were tall and impressive…
Vermafossen
Vermafossen was our favorite of the waterfalls we encountered while driving through the valley Romsdalen. That was no small feat considering that there were numerous waterfalls that we found…
Muldalsfossen
Muldalsfossen was a tall 200m waterfall that I anticipated seeing ever since I came across it during my pre-trip research as well as some tourism brochures I pcked up during our trip to Norway…
Stigfossen and Tverrdalsfossen (Trollstigen)
Stigfossen and Tverrdalsfossen were the pair of main waterfalls surrounding the famous 11-turn serpentine road Trollstigen (“the troll ladder”). This memorable scene of steep switchbacking roads…
Vesleulfossen (Vestlufossen)
Vesleulfossen was said to be Rondane National Park’s tallest waterfall at a reported 180m. It was probably for that reason alone that we made the detour out to this part of Central Norway from the…
The Seven Sisters and the Geirangerfjorden Waterfalls
The Seven Sisters Waterfall were certainly the most famous of the waterfalls in the Geiranger Fjord (Geirangerfjorden). Julie and I did the cruise on the world famous Geirangerfjord largely…
Pollfoss and the Waterfalls along the Otta River
The Waterfalls along the Otta River was really my attempt at trying to devote a page to the many waterfalls we saw as we drove the Rv15 along the Otta River towards the town of Otta in Oppland…
Storseterfossen
Storseterfossen (or Storsæterfossen) was one of the more memorable waterfalls in the Geiranger Fjord area because of a couple of things. One was that it couldn’t be seen on the cruise of…
Storulfossen (Bruresloret)
Storulfossen (perhaps more popularly known as Bruresløret or the Bridal Veil) was an attractive year-round 20m waterfall situated in the scenic highland moors of Rondane National Park…
Kvanndalsfossen
Kvanndalsfossen was a waterfall that Julie and I only noticed when we passed by an obscure handwritten sign while making the drive towards the famous Geiranger Fjord from Loen. When I swore I…
Kleivafossen
Kleivafossen was basically my waterfalling excuse to talk about our memorable out-and-back hike up to the terminus of the Briksdal Glacier (Briksdalsbreen). The falls was actually around the…
Volefossen and the Oldedalen Waterfalls
Volefossen (I’ve also seen it spelled Vålefossen) was a very tall and commanding presence at the head of the valley Oldedalen. I’ve read that this waterfall was said to tumble from a height of 355m…
Hoysteinfossen, Huldrefossen, and the Bodalen Waterfalls
Hoysteinfossen (Høysteinfossen; “HUHY-styen-foss-un”; meaning High Stone Falls) and the Bodalen Waterfalls (Bødalen) were my waterfalling excuses to talk about a little detour that Julie and I took…
Ramnefjellsfossen
Ramnefjellsfossen was a very tall waterfall spilling into the beautiful but deceptively calm and dangerous lake Lovatnet (pronounced “LOO-vaht-nuh”; meaning “the napping or laughing lake”?).
Strupenfossen and “Nonfossen”
Strupenfossen (or just Strupen) was a waterfall that seemed to have a bit of a reputation for being one of the tallest waterfalls in Norway. Julie and I had doubts about this stature considering…
Eidsfossen
Eidsfossen was a powerful waterfall on the aptly-named Storelva (Big River) that literally made us feel like the ground beneath our feet was trembling. Indeed, the operative word with this falls…
“Heggheimsfossen” (“Stigen”)
“Heggheimsfossen” was a waterfall that only recently was I able to correctly identify its watercourse. During our June/July 2005 trip to Norway, Julie and I definitely noticed this obviously…
Sanddalsfossen
Sanddalsfossen was perhaps the most remarkable of the waterfalls in the quiet Myklebustdalen Valley. Julie and I first noticed the 150m falls while briefly touring the valley as it sat quite…
Eikjelandsfossen, Fossestein, and the Other Waterfalls of Fossheimen
Eikjelandsfossen (I’ve also seen it spelled Eikelandsfossen) was merely one of many waterfalls that Julie and I saw while doing a loop drive that started and ended in the town of Førde but…
