#3 Vøringsfossen
One of Norway’s most famous waterfalls, Vøringsfossen plunges 182 metres from the Hardangervidda mountain plateau and twists its way through the narrow Måbødalen valley – a scene that looks straight out of The Lord of the Rings.

#4 Kjosfossen
Kjosfossen is a highlight for passengers on the Flåm Railway. This mighty waterfall has a drop of 93 metres and can only be reached by train. During the summer high season, performers dressed as “hulder” – mythical forest spirits known for luring men into the mountains – sing and dance beside the waterfall.

#7 Månafossen
With a free fall of 92 metres, Månafossen is the largest waterfall in the Rogaland region. Its dramatic plunge from the cliff into the pool below is like something out of a fairytale and makes the hike to reach it well worth the effort.

Another of Oddadalen’s spectacular waterfalls, Vidfoss tumbles nearly 300 metres down the mountainside. Midway, it spreads out into a broad, frothy fan of white water cascading over the grey rock face – a mesmerising sight.
