Other Sørfjorden Waterfalls

A tall waterfall tumbling behind Odda at the south end of Sørfjorden

There are other Sørfjorden Waterfalls enclosed by Odda to the south and the Hardanger Fjord to the north besides some of the better known named falls in the area. Such waterfalls are too numerous to single each one out. This is because you have the Folgefonn Glacier (Folgefonna) on the west wall supplying plenty of glacial meltwaters for the falls on that side, while you have the melting snow from the Hardanger Plateau (Hardangervidda) feeding snowmelt waterfalls on the east.

Besides Ædnafossen, Skrikjofossen, and Opofossen, I've only managed to stop and photograph a few of these falls (most of which I couldn't identify or match with a waterfall seen on the topo map). Check out the photos below if you want to see what they look like.

Directions: We're talking about the stretch between Odda and say Ullensvang along the Rv13 (on the east side of Sørfjorden ("the South Fjord").
