Rjoandefossen is one of the more conspicuous waterfalls we saw while on the Flåm Railway (Flåmsbana). We were able to see this tall 120m waterfall in various angles from the train.

Directions: This waterfall's easy enough to spot while on the Flåm Railway. I think it's the second major waterfall you'll see to the right as you head south to Myrdal.
As for driving, we went from the train station south along the narrow road (can be single-lane in places) for a little over 5km to the front of the falls. We had to share this road with other cars, bikers, and walkers.
