Måbødalen, Heritage valley in Eidfjord, Norway

The Måbødalen valley extends seven kilometers from Øvre Eidfjord village to Sysendalen valley on the western edge of Hardangervidda plateau.

The initial road through Måbødalen, completed in 1928, included three tunnels and three bridges, establishing the first connection between Eastern and Western Norway.

The Fossli Hotel at the mountain summit contains a Zimmermann piano where composer Edvard Grieg created Norwegian Folk Songs in 1896.

The modern road, constructed in 1986, replaced the original pathway, which remains accessible for pedestrians and cyclists exploring the valley.

The Bjoreio River flows through this 800-meter-wide valley, which features the 182-meter Vøringfossen waterfall along National Road 7.
