Vøringsfossen Waterfall

August 12th 2017

Today we took a ferry from Norheimsund to Eidford.

Another great day. Took a Ferry to Eidfjord, Miriam Froastad picked us up and drove to Voringfossen to see a beautiful waterfall. Now it is time for Norwegian pizza!

Miriam drove to Eidford and picked us up at the Ferry Landing. Then she too us to see Vøringsfossen Waterfall: One of Norway's most famous natural attractions, this stunning waterfall has a total drop of 182 meters (597 feet) into the Måbødalen canyon.

We took in the view the waterfall from the top of the plateau near the Vøringsfoss Cafeteria. A unique staircase bridge with 99 steps spans the canyon, providing an unforgettable experience of walking above the powerful water. We were able to enjoy a glass of wine while viewing the falls from the Cafeteria.

Norwegian National Road 7

This is the road we had to drive to get to and from the falls. Many times, it was only one lane due extremely narrow older segments known for steep hairpin turns where uphill traffic has right-of-way. On challenging stretches, you'll find "M" marked meeting points for two cars to pass.
