ジョンダルの滝・トップ9

The hike here is somewhat underestimated. It's much more mountaineering than hiking. Therefore, dogs larger than a handbag should not be taken along. Furthermore, there's a constant risk of slipping on the trails due to the loose, sometimes coarse gravel and the smooth stones higher up the mountain. A change of clothes is advisable, but not absolutely necessary. Some of the climbs and descents are very steep, so snacks and plenty to drink are a must. If you make it to the top, congratulations! You'll be treated to a wonderful view of a glacier with a turquoise mountain lake—dreamlike. Have fun and a successful hike with good weather ☀️

One of many waterfalls here, but developed for tourism with a parking lot, path up, viewing platform and shops at the bottom. Quite nice, but then there are also lots of other people 😉

The Steinsdalsfossen is one of the most famous and most photographed waterfalls in Norway. Even Kaiser Wilhelm II admired it and visited it almost every summer. The Steinsdalsfossen is two kilometers from Norheimsund and is famous because a path leads behind the falling water, making it a very special experience.

Unfortunately, we had to stop our hike in May at that point. Immediately after the rope, there was no way through due to the snow and ice and no longer any view of the actual hiking trail. It's a shame so close to the lake, but that's the disadvantage if you want to do the tour in May.

The path to the glacier lake is initially a rough, steadily rising gravel path, then it goes steeply uphill in the forest over hill and dale. The komoot route is not entirely correct, but it is well signposted. Instead of 1:20 hours, we needed a total of 2:20 hours for the climb with short breaks.

There is a small path 50 m to the right of the bridge. The path leads to a higher viewpoint of the waterfall.

Walking behind the waterfall is something special
