Hydnefossen, Cascading waterfall in Hemsedal Municipality, Norway
The Hydnefossen waterfall drops 140 meters in a single plunge and reaches a total height of 475 meters beneath the Veslehorn mountain at 1300 meters elevation.
The first documented exploration of Hydnefossen took place on June 27, 2005, during an expedition to survey the natural features of the Hemsedal region.
Local outdoor enthusiasts gather at Hydnefossen during winter months to practice ice climbing on its frozen cascades, making it a center for winter sports.

The waterfall maintains different characteristics throughout the seasons, displaying strong flows in spring and becoming an ice climbing destination in winter.
