Strupenfossen

Strupenfossen consists of multiple cascading tiers dropping from Myklebustbreen glacier, creating a total vertical descent of 820 meters through steep mountain terrain.

The waterfall's name originates from the Norwegian word for throat, reflecting the narrow channel through which water flows from the high-altitude Myklebustbreen glacier.

Local farmers have maintained agricultural traditions in Myklebustdalen valley, utilizing the fertile lands beneath the waterfall for dairy production and cattle grazing.

Visitors can observe the waterfall from roadside viewpoints along Route Fv693, approximately 9 kilometers from Byrkjelo town in the Gloppen Municipality.

The water flow varies significantly between seasons, with peak volume occurring during summer glacier melt periods when multiple streams form across the rock face.
