Hivjufossen Waterfall

A beautiful wide, two-tier waterfall. The walking route is beautiful and no special skills are required to walk.

Water-repellent, non-slip footwear recommended for walking the route, as you have to cross some nice, small to medium-sized streams. When it rains, the rock in front of the waterfall can be slippery!

Hivjufossen is a 250 meters high waterfall at Hovet, Buskerud, Norway.

Some kilometers from the centre of the village Hovet, in the direction of Aurland, is a hiking track to the Hivjufossen. The waterfall is a tourist attraction and can only be reached after 40 till 60 minutes climbing. Hivjufossen consists of an upper and lower waterfall which are created by the water of the river Storekvelvi that streams from Hardangervidda National Park to Hallingskarvet National Park. It is joined by other rivers and streams as it flows in the direction of the river Storåne in Hovet.

Beautiful waterfall easily reachable after a beautiful circular path in the woods.
