Langfoss is one of the tallest waterfalls in Norway. This powerful cascading waterfall towers 612m over the Åkra Fjord (Åkrafjorden). There is a sign near the base of the waterfall (at least when I was there in 2005) saying there are plans develop hydroelectric schemes that will impact this waterfall. Thus, causing it to join other prominent Norwegian waterfalls who have already lost their status as being amongst the world's tallest. Unfortunately, given the insatiable human thirst for energy and money, there's no telling when this gorgeous waterfall might be gone. If you're visiting this waterfall from the east, I must warn you that there is a toll station positioned just before the waterfall. When we visited this waterfall, we had to pay the toll twice (even though our sole purpose was to see the falls and head back towards the Odda Valley, or Oddadalen).
