- Fossen Bratte - Fossen Bratte is a prominent waterfall located between Bergen and Norheimsund. The name translates to ‘steep waterfall,’ which is fitting as the Eikedalselva River plunges 79 meters in a single drop.
- Steinsdalsfossen - Steinsdalsfossen is one of Norway’s most beloved waterfalls. The Fosselvi River cascades 48 meters, and visitors can walk behind the water curtain. The river’s flow is steady, fed by a series of lakes including Myklavatnet. Steinsdalsfossen has been a popular destination for over a century, frequented by Germany’s Emperor Wilhelm II until World War II. Interestingly, the waterfall’s current path was formed in 1699 after a flood altered the river’s course.
- Skjervsfossen Waterfall - Near Voss, Skjervsfossen is a stunning waterfall with two main drops, totaling 150 meters in height. The upper section, visible from the parking area, features an impressive 60-meter drop.

- Hardanger Fjord - The Hardangerfjord is the world’s fourth longest fjord and Norway’s second longest, stretching 179 kilometers (111 mi) from the Atlantic Ocean into Norway’s mountainous interior. The fjord’s innermost point is the town of Odda. Its history predates the Viking era, with early hunters and later farmers cultivating the fertile region, now known as Norway’s ‘fruit orchard.’ The fjord became a major tourist destination in 1875 when Thomas Cook began weekly cruises from London, drawn by its stunning nature, glaciers, and waterfalls.
- Voringfossen - Vøringsfossen is Norway’s 83rd highest waterfall, with a total drop of 182 meters (597 ft) and a major drop of 163 meters (534 ft).

- Voss Municipality - Voss is a municipality in Vestland county, Norway, centered around the village of Vossevangen. Surrounded by snow-capped mountains, forests, lakes, and fast-flowing rivers, Voss is a hub for skiing, water sports, skydiving, paragliding, and other adventure activities.
