Eidsfossen
Eidsfossen is a massive waterfall near the town of Sandane. The falls has such a powerful flow that even the hydroelectric scheme nearby doesn't seem to slow the waterfall down. Typical of river waterfalls that are powerful but not tall, there is a salmon ladder bypassing this torrent of water allowing the salmon to continue further upstream. Just east of the town of Sandane, look for a blue sign with a scenic icon symbol. Then, look for a dirt road turnoff, which you must take and weave your way through the unsigned maze of dirt roads towards the river. There will be a wide clearing area allowing you to get views of the falls from above the power station to its side (as shown above). As you continue down the road, you'll go downstream of the falls where you can look back at it as well as the power station (see one of the photos below). Tell us about your experience with this waterfall.
