Personal Impression What impressed me most was the natural beauty and the peaceful vibe of the place. I would definitely recommend...

The hike to Månafossen is short but steep, and well worth the effort. The waterfall is powerful and dramatic, crashing down into the valley with a roar that you feel in your chest. It’s one of the most impressive falls in Norway.

Nice little hike with an impressive view on the Månafossen waterfall. Usually enough parking places available (NOK 30). The hike is well maintained but quite steep. Proper shoes recommended.

If even go a bit further you will find a nice lake hidden behind some impressive rocks. Great four...
