Mongefossen, Towering waterfall in Rauma Municipality, Norway.
Mongefossen creates a single vertical drop of 773 meters, making it the fourth tallest single-drop waterfall on Earth.
In 1977, the construction of the Grytten hydroelectric project resulted in the diversion of Mongeelva river, reducing the waterfall's flow substantially.
Norwegians recognize Mongefossen as part of their natural heritage, representing the country's commitment to harnessing water resources for sustainable energy.
Visitors can observe the waterfall from the Rauma Line railway station, located between the villages of Flatmark and Marstein.
The waterfall forms from five mountain lakes and two small glaciers, flowing only during periods of excessive rainfall or full reservoir levels.
