Stalheimsfossen

Two waterfalls cascade down opposite sides of the steep Stalheimskleiva road, with Stalheimsfossen dropping 126 meters on one side and Sivlefossen falling 142 meters on the other.

The Stalheimskleiva road was built between 1842 and 1849 as part of the royal postal route connecting Copenhagen, Oslo, and Bergen through the mountainous terrain.

The Stalheim Folk Museum near the waterfall presents collections of local artifacts and traditional Norwegian buildings that represent the regional heritage of Vestland county.

Visitors can reach the waterfall base via a 900-meter flat walking path along the Nærøy River, which starts from the parking area at the bottom of Stalheimskleiva.

The mountainsides surrounding Stalheimsfossen display multiple colors of moss and large rocks that form shapes resembling stone creatures against the cliff face.
