Steinsdalsfossen

Steinsdalsfossen is a waterfall approximately 46 meters high in western Norway that flows down in multiple stages over rocky terrain. The water drops with force across the cliff face, creating a dramatic cascade that is visible from several viewing points.

This waterfall became known as a natural destination in the 1600s and grew in popularity among European travelers during the 1800s. Royal visits in the late 19th and early 20th centuries helped establish it as a recognized tourist site in the region.

This waterfall holds a special place in Norwegian nature tourism, drawing people who want to connect with the raw power of falling water. Visitors come to witness the force of nature and feel close to the landscape that defines the region.

A well-maintained trail takes visitors directly behind the falling water, allowing you to experience the cascade up close while staying dry. Parking is available near the entrance, making access straightforward for most visitors.

The water feeding this waterfall originates from a mountain lake high above and travels through river channels before reaching this cascade. Being able to walk behind the falling water is an unusual feature that sets it apart from most waterfalls in the region.
