Slettafossen

Slettafossen tumbling beneath a bridge

Slettafossen is merely just a high volume rapid thundering in the Romsdal Valley (Romsdalen). Despite it being well-signed with a huge car park, I wondered why it had gotten such attention and infrastructure, because it really wasn't much of a waterfall (IMHO). After we parked the car and browsed around the area, we were able to view the "falls" from a bridge above it or while walking down a short but steep path towards the underside of the bridge to get a closer look.

Directions: We didn't have trouble finding this waterfall as were motoring along the E136 through Romsdalen. It was about 70km west of Dombås and about 40km south of Åndalsnes.
