Ramnefjellsfossen, Mountain waterfall in Stryn Municipality, Norway.
Description
Ramnefjellsfossen is a waterfall in Stryn Municipality that drops over multiple tiers down the mountainside. The water cascades in several stages, creating a dramatic curtain of falling water visible from across the valley below.
History
The mountain above the waterfall experienced two devastating landslides in 1905 and 1936, causing significant loss of life in the Lovatnet lake area. These tragic events shaped how local people view and manage the risks of living near such steep terrain.
Culture
The waterfall stands as a testament to Norway's natural forces, leading local communities to develop careful approaches to living near steep landscapes.
Practical
The best views are from parking areas along the Fv723 road on the opposite shore of Lovatnet lake, where you can see the entire cascade clearly. The light tends to be better at certain times of day, so timing your visit can improve the view considerably.
Did you know?
The water originates from Ramnefjellbreen glacier, which is part of the larger Jostedalsbreen system, meaning water flow changes significantly with the seasons. During summer months when glacial melt increases, the waterfall becomes more powerful and more visually striking.
