Storseterfossen
Storseterfossen (or Storsæterfossen) is one the few waterfalls in Geiranger that you'll have to work a little to see. But the payoff is a rare waterfall that you get to go behind. It plunges about 30m so it's certainly worth the 2-hour return uphill hike. To start the hike, you'll have to look for a small single-lane road leading from the main road Rv63 to the Vesterås Restaurant, which is near the Hole Hyttas. The road is a little scary because there's limited passing opportunities so things might get hairy if there's someone headed the other way. Once you're on the hike, it climbs relentlessly (especially in the beginning) before it starts to level out as it gets closer to the falls. There is a sheltered and gradual path leading to the backside of the falls. There is also a more dangerous (i.e. highly cliff-exposed) path on the other side of the falls, but I wouldn't recommend taking that path. There have been people who have fallen to their deaths at this waterfall, which is a testament as to how dangerous that other way can be. Tell us about your experience with this waterfall.
