Tvindefossen
Voss, Norway
A broad waterfall dropping about 150 m over a stepped rock wall right beside the E16 north of Voss. Roadside parking makes it an easy break; the rocks near the spray are slippery.
Tvindefossen is a waterfall in Voss Municipality in Vestland, Norway, about 12 km north of Vossevangen, right beside the E16 towards Flåm. The water of the small Kroelvi stream drops in two steps into the valley. Its height is usually given as 110 to 116 m; according to Wikipedia, the frequently quoted 152 m is not the actual height. The average flow is around 4 m³ per second. A legend says the water is a fountain of youth.
The stop is easy for campers and road-trippers: according to Campervan Norway, there is a large car park right at the falls, plus a kiosk and Tvinde Camping, and a paved path leads to the waterfall. Because of the spray, a rain jacket and sturdy footwear are a good idea. The falls carry the most water from May to July, and the guide expects fewer crowds on weekdays in early May or late June.
