Very impressive! DO NOT follow your GPS to this point, because although these are the exact coordinates of the waterfall, you cannot see or visit it from here as you are right on top of it.

Easy walk on a country road, not much difference in height. Only the last 30 meters are on a rocky path that you have to take to see the waterfall. Standing under the waterfall was fun, but not fantastic. You can park at the school during the weekend. Not busy otherwise.

Nice to visit, but very touristy! Standing behind a waterfall is a special experience. The path to it is very easy for the first part, just a gravel road, then a little bit challenging until you have a view of the waterfall. If you want to find out, it is a bit more of a challenge, especially when the stones are wet and it is busy. The crowds, this time from tourists from a cruise ship, prevent me from giving 5 stars. Tip 1: don't come with a pram or buggy. Tip 2: navigate by car to Tvinnefossen Parking and park at the school. Please note: park along the road during school days, otherwise you are allowed in the parking lot. I think there is room for about 15 passenger cars.
