Short hike to a mighty waterfall!
This is a short and easy hike to the foot of the mighty Stalheimsfossen waterfall. The trail starts at an information board at the bottom of Stalheimskleiva and goes inland on the left side of the river. The path is wide and easy to walk, well adapted for both wheelchairs and prams.
The proximity to the river makes it a great nature experience to walk here. You walk through a lot of forest into the white "gorge" until it opens up about 200 m from the waterfall. Here you finally arrive at a ramp/viewpoint where you can enjoy the waterfall from a safe distance. The waterfall has a total drop of 126 meters, making it the 95th highest waterfall in Norway.
ATTENTION: In the event of high water flow, the waterfall can drift down past the viewpoint and you should expect to get wet.
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.
