📸 Kjosfossen - Magical Waterfall of Sogn og Fjordane Norway - Original Photos

Way above the Sognefjord and a few kilometers past Flåm, is a gushing waterfall. It is the most visited waterfall in all of Norway. The lake Reinungavatnet holds icy snowmelt, and releases it over the Kjosfossen waterfall. The train ride I previously posted makes a stop here so everyone can get off for 15 minutes to take pictures. During this time, music starts playing, and next to the waterfall a mystical woman begins to dance.

From Wikipedia "During the main tourist season in the summer an actress dressed as a legendary Huldra (a seductive forest creature in Scandinavian folklore) dances and sings in front of the waterfall as the trains enter the station for the amusement of the tourists.
