Just 10 minutes by car from Øystese you will find one of Norway's most popular sights: Steindalsfossen.
Seeing the beautiful waterfall - with a drop of around 50 metres - in this idyllic valley is a fantastic experience in itself, but what makes Steindalsfossen so special is that you can walk behind the thundering waterfall without getting wet.
A pleasant tarmac path (which can also be used by wheelchair users or people who have difficulty walking) has been laid out from the car park. After just 600 metres on foot, you are standing directly behind the beautiful curtain of rushing water.
If you walk a little further along the path, you will reach a viewpoint where you can enjoy the view over both the waterfall and the valley with Norheimsund.
When you get back down, you can enjoy a snack and a cup of coffee in the café by the souvenir shop - and if the weather is good, you can relax on the lawn and enjoy the view of the waterfall before returning to the car to enjoy the rest of your day.
