Henfallet, 90-meter waterfall in Tydal, Norway
Description
Henfallet is a waterfall created by the Hena River with a drop of about 90 meters, flowing through dark rock formations. Norwegian mountain plants grow along its steep sides, framing the cascade as it descends.
History
Henfallet formed through the natural action of the Hena River carving through the landscape over long periods, shaping the rock formations visible today. Water flow has changed in recent times due to shifts in regional rainfall patterns.
Culture
The name Henfallet reflects local naming customs near the Swedish border, where the suffix 'fallet' is preferred over the more common Norwegian term 'foss' for waterfalls. This linguistic choice shows how geography shapes the way communities speak about their landscape.
Practical
Access is via an 8-kilometer gravel road branching from Route 705 that leads to a parking area with wooden walkways. These pathways guide visitors to viewing spots positioned to take in the falls from different angles.
Did you know?
The waterfall reaches its strongest flow during early summer when mountain snow melts, while morning sunlight creates excellent photography opportunities at this time. These conditions make early summer particularly rewarding for visitors seeking to experience the cascade at its most powerful.
