Kjelfossen

Kjelfossen



Kjelfossen (note "kjel" is pronounced "shell") consists of at least three very tall waterfalls in the Nærøy Valley (Nærøydalen). You can see this waterfall from as far away as the Stalheim Hotel's terrace above the sinuous Stalheimskleiva road. Look for this waterfall as you drive the E16 into Nærøydalen approaching the (appropriately located, if you get the Norwegian pronunciation) Shell Gas station just before the tunnel.

Depending on who you consult, you might hear that this waterfall is proclaimed to be Norway's tallest waterfall. I'm not certain about this claim, but it is indeed one of the tallest waterfalls in the country.
