Big disappointment. This year there was probably not much water overall, so it was just a chickpea, even from a great height. You can't really get to the waterfall. You can only watch it from a great distance, or from above. But I would definitely never come back here again.

Beautiful waterfall with Norway's second highest drop. Soft forest by the road means you have to walk a bit to get a good view.
