This was one of the most picturesque areas my husband and I have been in Norway. The view from the overlook is spectacular, the view from down near the river is okay. I may have had a better opinion of it, but after a rainy day, this hike had me legitimately afraid of wiping out as a good portion of it is somewhat treacherous medium-sized rock scrambling and there are segments where there is some washed out trail with slick mud as well.

I recommend it only for experienced hikers and those without any kind of mobility issues as there isn't much in the way of assistance or room for error on narrow paths near ateep.embankmenta..

The falls are very high, the volume of water flowing in through a fairly narrow entrance is enormous (and loud!), and the viewing opportunities are good. The main viewing platform was fogged in, but you could hear the falls and tell that you were standing over a lot of empty space. S short hike down a trail on the left (facing out) led to a crazy bridge over the headwaters, supported by two huge tripods. Not too many cars when we visited, in the afternoon of a cloudy day, so parking was no problem. Google maps initially led us to the wrong parking lot, which was closed, but we easily found the right one. There's also a...
