Skykkjedalsfossen
Skykkjedalsfossen is an impressive waterfall deep in the narrow Sima Valley (Simadalen). Although the falls are said to be regulated, the flow is still impressive when we saw it during our 2005 trip to Norway. The Sima Power Plant is one of the largest outputting power stations in Norway, and apparently, this waterfall would've been amongst the tallest free-falling ones if not for the hydroelectric intervention. Getting here requires about a short drive east of the Eidfjord township into Simadalen. Once you manage to figure out a way to continue onto the unpaved road going east of the township within the valley, you'll eventually see the waterfall up the cliff to your right. The only thing that remains would be to take photos without the power lines getting in the way. Tell us about your experience with this waterfall.
