Målselvfossen
Målselvfossen was once considered Norway's national waterfall. I'm still a little unclear why this was so, but it historically produced large yields of salmon. I believe this place still is a popular fishing spot and there's a lot of infrastructure around the falls from the large car park to the well-positioned signs off the E6 to the presence of fish and tackle supply shops. If fishing is your thing, then you'll probably enjoy this place as it's got all the things you're looking for - big fish, big river, majestic scenery, and even extended daylight in the summer since it sits above the Arctic Circle (Polarsirkelen). Despite the infrastructure around this waterfall, I would say from a photographic and scenic standpoint that this falls is really more of a bunch of rapids than a waterfall. Still, it's worth a look to see both the scenery and even the salmon ladder on the near side of the banks of the falls. Tell us about your experience with this waterfall.
