Ramnefjellfossen
Ramnefjellfossen, which is perhaps more familiarly known as Utigordsfossen, is a very tall waterfall spilling into the deceptively calm but beautiful lake called Lovatnet. The falls tumbles from glacial meltwaters meaning it has sustained flow (even though it doesn't appear strong when compared to some of its other Norwegian rivals). However, this waterfall is on Mt Ramnefjell, which is notorious for a pair of landslides that formed tidal waves that twice wiped out the lakeside communities of Nesdal and Bødal. It is a sobering reminder of the forces involved that often form the dramatic scenery we behold today. You can drive to this waterfall from the town of Loen. Head inland towards Lovatnet and follow it past the Bødalen turnoff. You'll see the falls across the lake shortly thereafter. Tell us about your experience with this waterfall.
