V\u00f8ringsfossen plunges from the Hardangervidda plateau into the head of the M\u00e5b\u00f8dalen valley in Eidfjord Municipality, in the Hardanger region of western Norway. It lies right beside Route 7 (Rv7), the Hardangervidda National Tourist Route between Bergen and Oslo, about 20 kilometres up the valley from the village of Eidfjord; Bergen is roughly three hours away by car, and Geilo about an hour across the plateau. There are two parking areas: Fossli, at the top of the falls, and Fossatromma, a lower viewing area across the gorge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was den V\u00f8ringsfossen so ber\u00fchmt macht<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

V\u00f8ringsfossen is perhaps Norway’s best-known waterfall: the river Bjoreio drops a total of 182 metres, with a main fall of 163 metres, into the narrow M\u00e5b\u00f8dalen gorge. It was hardly known outside the area until 1821, when the scientist Christopher Hansteen tried to measure its height by timing falling stones, and the Fossli Hotel, built in 1891 in the Art Nouveau style, still stands on the edge above the falls; the composer Edvard Grieg had a cabin nearby and was a frequent visitor. As part of the National Tourist Routes, more than a kilometre of secure paths and viewing platforms has been built here, and in 2020 a striking step bridge by the architect Carl-Viggo H\u00f8lmebakk opened across the gorge, 47 metres long with one end 16 metres higher than the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Praktische Informationen und Tipps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Der Besuch des Wasserfalls ist kostenlos; Parkpl\u00e4tze, Toiletten und Servicegeb\u00e4ude in Fossli und Fossatromma sind normalerweise von Anfang April bis November ge\u00f6ffnet, Teile der Wege, Aussichtsplattformen und die Treppenbr\u00fccke sind im Winter gesperrt. Ein Rundgang zu den Aussichtspunkten dauert eine halbe bis anderthalb Stunden. Der Fluss wird zur Stromerzeugung reguliert, im Sommer ist jedoch eine Mindestwassermenge garantiert. Der Ort liegt am Rand der Hochebene, das Wetter kann schnell umschlagen: Warme, wind- und wasserdichte Kleidung und Schuhe mit gutem Profil mitnehmen, denn die Wege nahe der Gischt k\u00f6nnen rutschig sein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
