Hello, friends and community! Recently, I've been traveling a lot around beautiful Norway. When the weather is good, it's nice to travel and explore beautiful nature. I am crazy about taking thousands of photos of every detail of nature. However, when I sit down to write posts, I realize I need more information and research on how to effectively create them. Sometimes it is easy, sometimes it takes time. Finally, today I finished this post
Our new adventure: the powerful waterfall named Steindalfossen. Despite its low drop of only 50 meters, it is one of Norway's most visited waterfalls.
We recently visited Western Norway, spending about eight days on the road and exploring numerous beautiful sights along the way.
Hardanger is the best part where we explore nature's beautiful aspect, the road we follow to our next destination, which is Steindalfossen. After driving from Kongsberg to Eidsfjorden, we continued our journey on the Norwegian scenic road. Instead of driving on main roads, it is very pleasant and less tiring to drive on scenic roads. The Norwegian Public Roads Administration is responsible for developing Norway's National Tourist Routes, and they can reveal that they have several exciting projects in the works. places to places resting stops, special viewpoints, clean drinking water supply, nice, clean, and artistic way of making toilets. it is wonderful to drive these roads to enjoy the nature which are abundant in front of us.

On this route you have to cross at least 1 ferry and 1 long tunnel.
We drove to Granvin and continued on the National Scenic Road.
We stopped to see this artistic architectural toilet in a small bay outside Ålvik along the Hardangerfjord. The Norwegian Public Roads Administration has built an adventurous toilet like no one has ever seen before
When the public road administration is working on this road
Among other things, they have started work on creating a forest-inspired toilet made of concrete and wood. When the building is finished, it will resemble an upside-down tree, with roots holding up the roof. Pretty cool, how do you feel about this creativity?
Tyrvefjørathe resting place name is probably comes from the Old Norse(old Scandinavian language) tyrvi or tyrvið, a word for dead pine wood full of resin and therefore suitable as fuel. In this sense, it could fit with a toilet building where the pine has a central place.
spent some time looking around and taking photos.
we drove further on the road. There are many fruit gardens. Hardanger is very famous and a good fruit supplier for most parts of the country.
As well as some fish farming.
From this point of view, we can see the big glacier Folgefonna from a long distance.
The location known as Fyske Steinstøberge is a popular tourist stop for fishing. It is said that you can find various types of fish here. We had brought our fishing rods, so we decided to take a short break and try our luck. On the very first cast, I caught a mackerel weighing around 800 grams — enough for our dinner, which we stored in a freezing box. We continued to fish, but subsequent attempts were unsuccessful. We decided to move further.
Finally, we caught a glimpse of the beauty from the road. There is a lovely, winding path that leads from the parking lot at the base of the waterfall up to the waterfall itself. While crossing a small footbridge, crystal-clear water greets you warmly on both sides.
Steinsdalsfossen
There is something that makes it special that few other waterfalls can boast.
The waterfall is located about 2 km west of Norheimsund in the Hardangerfjord along the National Tourist Route Hardanger, from Norheimsund towards Bergen. Steinsdalsfossen is a natural pit stop along a scenic road.
From the parking lot, the path continues behind the waterfall itself along the entire width of the waterfall. Even though the waterfall itself is not particularly impressive in size,
It is precisely the fact that you can experience walking dry-shod behind the waterfall that makes it a real tourist magnet.
Visitors can walk behind the waterfall to see through it. In June, the rivers are full, making visibility unclear, but we can still see the town of Norheimsund.
Here is the history of this waterfall.
There is a café, souvenir shops, and statues of the troll, Norway's unique imaginary character. After witnessing the beauty of nature, I didn't want to see anything more; I simply wanted to savor my experiences in my mind and relax.
When I was returning, I stood at the foot of the waterfall. I felt a little emotional, thanking nature before getting into the car.
Thank you all readers for witnessing this magical nature with me in this post.🙏
