Kjeragfossen, Plunge waterfall in Lysebotn, Norway
The Kjeragfossen waterfall drops 715 meters from the Kjerag plateau to the southern shore of Lysefjorden through a narrow 6-meter-wide channel.
The waterfall flows from an unnamed stream that has carved its path through ancient granite formations dating back millions of years.
Norwegian mountaineers and base jumpers frequent the Kjerag area near the waterfall, making it a center for extreme sports activities.
Visitors can access Kjeragfossen via an 11-kilometer trail from Øygardstølen parking area, requiring proper hiking equipment and weather-appropriate clothing.
The waterfall creates a seasonal spectacle, flowing primarily during spring months when snow melts from the plateau above Kjerag.
