Hulda Waterfall
Medium
Type: Hiking
Length: 5,5 km
Duration: 2 hours and 30 minutes
Season: Heile året
From Fresvik you can take the trip to Huldafossen. The walk to Huldafossen is an easy hike of about 2.5 km one way. The path leads to Storøyna, an open area used for sheep grazing. Remember to leave the gates open on the hike. To get to the area, you can drive on the road from the village to the Engi farm. If you want a longer hike, you can park further down the valley and walk the gravel road to the farm. From Engi there is a path into Stordalen with great views of Huldafossen and Fresvikbreen.
Be careful not to walk too close to the waterfalls, due to the risk of rockfall. At Bjørkehaug, before Storøyna, there is a fitness center. From here, the path climbs steeply to the right to Helgedalen farmhouse. This farmhouse is no longer in use, and there are only the remains of the old farmhouses.
Have a good trip in the world heritage! We hope you will enjoy one of the most beautiful fjord areas in the world, and help us to protect nature here. See the points below

Clean up after yourself and take all waste with you, including disposable grills and wet wipes.
In the outback, you can count as long as you are at least 150 meters from the nearest house or cabin. Open meadows in the lowlands are often inland. You can only camp there by agreement with the landowner. Use recommended campsites.
Lighting bonfires in forests and outlying areas is prohibited from April 15 to September 15, except in places such as the edge of a lake, where the risk of fire is minimal. Use established campfire sites and avoid lighting fires directly on rocky outcrops so that the rock cracks. Put out the fire and clean up after yourself before you leave.
Show consideration for grazing animals and wild animals. Keep your dog on a lead and close the gates. Wild reindeer are particularly vulnerable in late winter and spring.
Where there is no toilet, dig a hole at least 30 m from the path, building or washbasin. Toilet paper and wet wipes are rubbish that should be thrown in the rubbish bin.
Follow established trails - so wild reindeer and other shy animals don't have to meet people everywhere. Avoid cutting corners or blazing new trails.
Do not disturb animal and bird life. Observe animals and birds from a distance, using binoculars.
Cairns are signposts that help you follow the route. Do not build new cairns, as this can lead people astray. Do not remove stones from old cairns. They are cultural monuments.
