Svoufossen

The most satisfying way to see this waterfall was to hike towards its bottom. I basically followed some primitive signposted trails providing limited access through the Jenstad farm affording me closer views of Reppdalsfossen (at least closer than the second car park) before the trail steeply descended beyond the pastures and in amongst trees. I eventually stopped where I felt I had gotten decent enough views (as pictured above), but the trail did continue descending further and steeper. Of course with all that descending, it was a sweaty and tiring climb back up!

Another way I saw the waterfall was from near its top. I managed to do this accidentally by missing the turnoff to the Jenstad farm on the county road (see directions below). Eventually, I ended up stopping at a signposted pullout near a switchback where I was able to look right down at the falls and where Grødøla River meandered towards the Grøva River.

Directions: Driving directions were given in the Reppdalsfossen page. They share the same car park (the 2nd car park; tolls are required for both car parks on the Jenstad Farm).

If you did what I did and happened to miss the turnoff for Jenstad Farm, the county road crosses a bridge over Grøva then goes onto a steep, narrow, but paved switchback road called Snøgutu (Snow Road).

All I have to do now is descend the grassy hill to get closer to Svoufossen

Almost there!
