Fossen Bratte
Fossen Bratte, also known as Brudesløret, Eikedalsfoss, or Brattefossen, is a significant waterfall near Bergen along the route to Norheimsund in Hordaland. While Steinsdalsfossen draws large crowds, some consider Fossen Bratte even more impressive. The name "Fossen Bratte" translates to "steep waterfall," reflecting its dramatic descent as the Eikedalselva river plunges over 79 meters in a single drop. This natural wonder captivates with its sheer power and beauty, offering a unique attraction in the Bergen region.
Steinsdalsfossen Waterfall
Steinsdalsfossen, situated in Kvam municipality in Vestland county, is among Norway's most frequented tourist destinations. Visitors can follow a path from the parking area alongside the waterfall, ascend a hill, and even walk behind the cascade, staying dry as they enter the tumultuous water. This impressive waterfall stands at 46 meters (151 feet) in height, featuring a primary drop of 20 meters (66 feet), with peak water flow during May and June when snow melts. The Fosselva river, which originates from Lake Myklavatnet at an elevation of 814 meters (2,671 feet) above sea level, feeds Steinsdalsfossen. Notably, Emperor Wilhelm II of Germany visited the waterfall annually from 1889 until the outbreak of World War I in 1914. Steinsdalsfossen was formed in 1699 when the river altered its course, creating this remarkable natural wonder.
Hardangerfjord
The Hardangerfjord, situated in Vestland county within the Hardanger region, ranks as the world's fourth-longest fjord and Norway's second longest. Stretching 179 kilometers (111 miles) inland from the Atlantic Ocean, it penetrates into Norway's mountainous interior along the Hardangervidda plateau. Approximately around 8,000 BC, as colossal glacial ice began melting, the Scandinavian land mass began rising. This led to the flooding of lower valley parts, resulting in the formation of what we now recognize as the Hardangerfjord. The valley's creation was shaped not only by glacial erosion but also by the force of high-pressure melting water pushing its way beneath the ice.
