Seven Sisters waterfall, Coastal waterfall in Stranda Municipality, Norway
Seven separate streams form this 410-meter waterfall, creating parallel white water cascades that flow directly into the Geirangerfjord from steep mountain cliffs.
The waterfall stands near Knivsflå, a mountain farm from the 1600s that residents accessed via steep paths along the fjord's vertical walls.
Norwegian folklore tells of seven unmarried sisters dancing down the mountain while a suitor watches from another waterfall across the fjord.
Fjord cruise boats from Geiranger provide the best viewing opportunities between May and July when melting snow increases the water flow.
The waterfall forms part of the Geirangerfjord UNESCO World Heritage site, with each stream falling an average of 250 meters into the fjord below.

Waterfalls have a way of drawing people in. The sound of falling water, the mist that rises from the base, the way light catches the spray. Some of the most striking examples sit in places that remain relatively quiet, where the journey itself becomes part of the experience. These destinations reward travelers who make the effort, offering moments of solitude that are increasingly rare around natural landmarks. This collection includes places like the limestone terraces of Plitvice Lakes in Croatia, where a chain of interconnected pools spills from one to the next through forest shade. Or the red sandstone walls of Coyote Gulch in Utah, where water carved out hidden alcoves and pools over countless seasons. In India, Nohkalikai Falls drops from a forested plateau into a green pool far below. China's Huangguoshu Waterfall has a cave tucked behind the curtain of water itself. At the Vietnam-China border, Ban Gioc-Detian spreads wide across the landscape, while Angel Falls in Venezuela tumbles nearly a thousand meters from a flat topped mountain. Norway's Geirangerfjord hosts the Seven Sisters, a cluster of parallel streams that flow straight into the fjord. Iceland's Dettifoss sends an immense volume of glacial water over black volcanic rock. South Africa's Tugela Falls descends in stages from the dramatic cliff face of the Drakensberg range. And in the Philippines, Kawasan Falls creates a series of turquoise pools beneath a canopy of tropical growth. Each place has its own character, shaped by the rock, the climate, and the surrounding terrain.
