10 Waterfalls in Sogn og Fjordane That You Shouldn't Miss
Rich in mountains, islands, glaciers, farmlands and fjords, Sogn og Fjordane is best known for Sognefjord, the longest in Norway and the second-longest in the world. One of its arms, Nærøyfjord, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as is the 12th-century Urnes Stave Church near Lustrafjorden, an excellent example of traditional Scandinavian wooden architecture. Jostedalsbreen, the largest glacier on mainland Europe, is home to a national park with several museums and visitor centers.

1. Botnafossen

4.5 based on 3 reviews
Botnafossen is a rather big and very impressing waterfall in Indrefjorden in Arnafjord. The waterfall is clearly visible from the main road. One can get closer to the waterfall by leaving the main road and driving or hiking a bit up the road towards the settlement Halsete. On the hiking path from Halsete to the mountain area Stolsheimen, one is passing the same river, also here creating a beautiful waterfall, only called Fossen - meaning The waterfall.

A mere 20 minute walk from the port you’ll walk over the waterfall’s lower river before seeing a sign and turning right up a steep path, this then changes into steps and then steep natural paths which takes 30 minutes from the road you’ll see a clearing and a view point sign, do not continue up as the terrain gets harder and there are no viewpoints for another 30mins or so. I’d only advise this if you are okay shape and confident as it can be a bit slippery and steep especially on the way down. The viewpoint is incredible, the full length of the waterfall captures the left side of the view and the rest is filled with Flåm, the fjords and The Valley which the railway follows. I could have sat there for hours.

This waterfall is stunning. There are incredible views all the way up, you can walk behind the waterfall. Be prepared to be dripped on and it is ice cold. Incredible

This is an easy and beautiful hike. The waterfall itself is amazing and one of the highest in Norway. You hike along the river and pass 3 other big waterfall along the way and some smaller. I recommend a detour to Avdalen farm and a stop at Vetti farm.
