Henfallet

From the little car park (see directions below), we noticed trails that branched out in several directions, but we didn't try them outside of the short scramble leading to the view you see on the photo at the top of this page. I'm sure one of these trails might have taken us within the misty bottom of the falls.

Directions: Even though Trondheim wasn't the nearest town to the falls, we based ourselves here so we'll give you the directions from the city.

First, we headed east on the E6 until it junctioned with the Rv705 in the town of Hell (yes, we literally went to Hell). Then, we took the Rv705 south for some 83km into the tiny township of Ås. Just south of this town, we started looking for a turnoff on the right hand side (roughly 3km from the visitor center in Ås).

Once we were on the turnoff, we initially passed by a few residences before going past some hydro facility (I think). We then entered an unsealed road that led quite a ways towards the falls as it followed the Hena watercourse. About 600m from Rv705, we saw Kvernfossen from a bridge. Eventually, after about 7km of driving on the unsealed road (some grass was high enough to tickle the underside of our rental car), we saw a signed car park (room for a few cars) which was for Henfallet.

If someone tells you to go to Hell, you can smile at that person, voice your pleasure, and go to Norway!

Follow that sign!

I thought I'd throw this in here since it provided much needed relief from waterfall saturation on our 2005 trip. This is the Nidaros Cathedral (pronounced "NEED-ah-rohss") in Trondheim
