Steinsdalsfossen – Walk behind the waterfall!

The west coast of Norway is known for its dramatic landscapes and mighty waterfalls, and Steinsdalsfossen is one of the most unique and accessible. Located just outside Norheimsund, this waterfall is a favorite among locals and tourists alike.

A walk behind the curtain of water

What makes Steinsdalsfossen particularly special is the landscaped path that leads behind the waterfall itself. Here, you can literally walk dry-shod behind the rushing water and experience the power of nature up close – an experience that is as breathtaking as it is photo-friendly.

Steinsdalsfossen is not only a nature experience, but also a place where you can feel the wings of history. Emperor Wilhelm II of Germany visited the waterfall almost every summer between 1889 and 1914, which testifies to its long-standing appeal.

If you are planning a trip through the Hardanger region, a stop at Steinsdalsfossen is a must. It is a place where the beauty of nature and accessibility meet and where every visitor can create their own memory of standing behind one of Norway's most iconic waterfalls.
