Stalheimsfossen, Mountain waterfall in Stalheim, Norway
Stalheimsfossen is a mountain waterfall in Norway that drops beside Sivlefossen on opposite sides of a steep mountain road. Both waterfalls plunge dramatically into a narrow valley, creating a striking natural ravine where the landscape feels carved by water and time.
The Stalheimskleiva road was built in the 1800s and served as a key mountain passage connecting coastal regions. This route became important for connecting trading centers across difficult 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.
A flat walking path along the Nærøy River connects from the parking area to the waterfall viewpoints. The path is easy to navigate and suitable for most visitors, though wearing proper footwear helps on wet days.
The cliff faces around the waterfall display a mosaic of moss in different colors and large rocks that resemble stone creatures. This natural formation changes its appearance with light and seasons.
