Sauda to Røldal Waterfalls

An interesting tall waterfall across a lake with a power plant between Sauda and Røldal





The stretch of road along Rv520 between Sauda and Røldal contain numerous waterfalls as it crosses through moorish highlands between Rogaland and Hordaland counties. We definitely lost count of them as we were doing this drive, and I'm betting the same would happen to you if you were to try this feat. In some cases, I was surprised that they didn't name some of them (at least not on Norgesglasset or the maps on Statens Kartverk atlases)

See the photos below for a sampling of the waterfalls along this stretch of road.

Directions: The stretch of road between Sauda and Røldal (or more accurate the Sauda town to the E134) is about 40km
