Enjoy 25 minutes of Amazing views of Waterfalls in Norway with Relaxing Music.
The national tourist authorities like to say Norway is ‘powered by nature'. It's one of the few marketing slogans that I really like!

I know I'm not the only person to feel that few things in nature are as fascinating as a waterfall. From the thunderous roar to the remarkable lighting effects, waterfalls alone are worth travelling for.

The Seven Sisters
Norway's most famous fjord is also home to arguably its most famous waterfall. Or more accurately, waterfalls. As its name implies, the Seven Sisters (De syv søstrene) is actually seven separate streams of water tumbling down the steep side of the Geirangerfjord.

The water falls from a height of 410 meters and includes a free-fall of up to 250 meters on its way down to the fjord. The sight is most often seen on the Geirangerfjord ferry that shuttles camera-wielding tourists between the fjordside villages Geiranger and Hellesylt.

Kjosfossen
One of the highlights of the world-famous Flåm railway is the stop at this magnificent waterfall.

Although its ‘only' 225 metres high, the waterfall is broad and powerful for much of the year. Such is its power, a small hydropower station at Kjosfossen helps to run the Flåm railway.

As the train is primarily a tourist route, it stops for long enough for passengers to disembark and get a photo. In high season, visitors are also treated to a performance from a Huldra!

Vøringsfossen
A national symbol that has drawn tourists to the area since the late 19th century, Vøringsfossen is a 182 metre high waterfall near Eidfjord.

Despite its remote looking location, the sight is less than one mile on foot from the parking lot at the side of the road. That said, due to snowfall the walking season is relatively short here and runs from around mid-May to mid-October.

Langfossen
One of the least visited falls on the list by international travellers given its location, Langfossen is nevertheless one of the country's best, so much so that CNN once named it as one of the world's ten most beautiful waterfalls.

The closest town is Haugesund and it's close to both the Folgefonna glacier and Hardangervidda National Park. With a drop of 612 metres, Langfossen is Norway's fifth tallest waterfall.

Yet it isn't the height that makes Langfossen memorable. Rather than plunge straight down like many of its siblings on this page, Langfossen tumbles over a rocky cliff on its way into the Ã…krafjord, creating a totally different look.

Steinsdalsfossen
The most notable thing about Steinsdalsfossen is that visitors can walk up to and right behind the falling water. This means that although the waterfall is just 46 metres high, it's one of Norway's most popular attractions.

It has fame outside of Norway too. The Emperor Wilhelm II of Germany was said to visit Steinsdalsfossen almost every summer between 1889 and 1914.

Hellesyltfossen
Even if you’re just passing through on the Geiranger-Hellesylt car ferry, make time to see Hellesyltfossen, which literally splits the village in two.

At just 20 metres high it's the shortest drop of all the waterfalls on this list, but Hellesyltfossen more than makes up for that with sheer power.

Stigfossen
You shouldn't need another reason to visit the Trollstigen mountain pass, part of Route 63 between Ã…ndalsnes and Geiranger. But just in case the incline of 10 percent and 11 hairpin bends aren't enough, there's also Stigfossen.

Around halfway up the pass, an old stone bridge crosses the Stigfossen waterfall, which tumbles down into the valley below from a height of more than 300 meters.

Tvindefossen
A few miles north of Voss is the 110-metre high Tvindefossen, where the water of the Kroelvi river falls over a cliff and cascades down the rocks forming one of Norway's most beautiful waterfalls.

It's a popular hiking destination for visitors to Voss as despite its apparent size, it's fairly straightforward to walk up to the top for a totally different perspective. Plus you get the bonus of a second waterfall along the way!

Vermafossen
Around 25 miles away from Trollstigen along the E136 toward Dombås is Vermafossen. This powerful waterfall plunges down 380 meters and provides a terrific photo opportunity.

Another well-known landmark is the stone arch Kylling Bridge, which carries the Rauma line railway across the valley, 60 meters above the river.
