It's either you stop right at the top, with a bird's eye view of the waterfall, Geo coordinates as : 60.425468, 7.246463 OR like us, we choose a short hike ( 1.3km x2 ) to the base of the waterfall. You can park at 60.425203, 7.231709. Both sides of the road are widen to allow cars to park to hike to Vøringsfossen. The initial 200m is path road, after which , there are many boulders and bid rocks to overcome. But not a problem at all as just do it at your own pace and enjoy the hike. It's beautiful with a lovely weather to top it all. You can do it in 2 hours. We took about 3 hours as we had our picnic and rest at the waterfall too!
2. Kjeasen Mountain Farm
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 70 reviews
Kjeåsen mountain farm is described as the world's most isolated settlement, it is like an eagle's nest 530m above the Simadalsfjord. The road to the farm starts in Simadal, about 10 km from Eidfjord/Rv7. Due to narrow road, hourly driving has been introduced. Traffic up to Kjeåsen every full hour, traffic down from Kjeåsen on the half hour. One can drive up just to enjoy the view, or you can do the amazing hike from the fjord to the top. The hike starts in Simadal by Statkraft (parking by Sima Power Plant). From this point take a left towards the fjord to Kjeaneset. The trail forks off to the right and winds steeply up the mountainside. Ropes, logs and ladders are necessary aids along the way. Stunning views in several places along the trail. Approx 1,5 - 2 hrs hard uphill hiking each way.

we really enjoyed the hour long walk. We walked up the side of the river and through the woods.There is a clean toilet available on the path. We saw lots of wildlife and birds nesting. Yes, the graves are just mounds of stones, but they are ancient Viking graves so we didn't expect anything more! The view point is spectacular.

Worth the walk up from the port to see this old church and the cemetery. They only allow you to look inside as the floor is not safe, but to me it is worth seeing the historical site. And it is also on the "blue" path. There are posts with blue on them that allow you to make about a mile walk around the upper city in the countryside.
