Steinsdalsfossen, Waterfall in Norheimsund, Norway
The 46-meter high Steinsdalsfossen waterfall cascades down multiple tiers, creating a powerful display of falling water near the Hardangerfjord.
Emperor Wilhelm II of Germany visited Steinsdalsfossen each summer from 1889 until 1914, making it a recognized destination among European nobility.
The waterfall forms part of Norway's natural heritage, receiving more than 300,000 visitors annually who come to experience its powerful water display.
A well-maintained path leads visitors behind the waterfall's cascading water while keeping them completely dry, with parking facilities near the entrance.
The Fosselva river that forms Steinsdalsfossen originated from Lake Myklavatnet at 814 meters above sea level, creating this natural water formation in 1699.
