Friaren (The Friar)
Friaren (The Friar) is a lone waterfall sitting across from the famed Seven Sisters (De Sju Søstre) on the Geiranger Fjord (Geirangerfjorden). Legend has it that the Friar is trying to woo the sisters across the fjord. And that is why he is positioned where he is as he tries to make his move... While this waterfall doesn't have as many columns as the sisters across the way nor does it possess their height, it does have lots of volume. When the cruise ship passes before this waterfall, you could easily feel the mist from the falls. By the way, the formal name for this waterfall is Skageflåfossen.
