Skrikjofossen

The Skrikjofossen waterfall cascades down 455 meters from the Hardanger Plateau through two distinct drops, with the largest single plunge measuring 260 meters.

The waterfall stands near the Monk's Steps, a trail constructed during the 13th century that leads visitors from Ullensvang to the summit of the falls.

The name Skrikjofossen, also known as Krikjofossen, represents one of many Norwegian waterfalls that form an essential part of the Vestland region's natural heritage.

Visitors can access the waterfall through a marked trail from Lofthus, with the complete round trip taking approximately five hours to reach the viewing point.

The waterfall maintains an average flow rate of one cubic meter per second and features a total width of 15 meters across its tiered plunge structure.
