Kvinnafossen
Kvinnafossen (I’ve also seen it spelled Kvinnefossen) was a roadside waterfall that faced the vast Sognefjord (Sognefjorden; said to be the longest fjord in the world) that Julie and I visited…
Geisfossen, Ryefossen, and the Jostedalen Waterfalls
Geisfossen (I’ve also seen it called Geisdalsfossen) was a series of four segmented waterfalls plunging side-by-side each other. It seemed like it was the most famous of the many waterfalls…
Feigefossen
Feigefossen was a waterfall that Julie and I anticipated visiting because we learned from our pre-trip research (later supported by a sign we saw a the trailhead there) that it was said to possess…
Mordolefossen

Kjosfossen, Rjoandefossen, and the Flam Railway Waterfalls
