Tjornadalsfossen

The way I did it was that I found an unsealed road leaving Rv13 to the east that steeply climbed above the Odda Valley. The road was closed to vehicular traffic when I was there so I had to walk my way up. Once I got above the switchbacks, there was an unofficial "trail" traversing through a canopy of trees before I ended up with the view that you see above on this page. I definitely needed a wide angle lens to get as much of the falls as I could, but even then I reckoned it wasn't enough.

The falls twisted and turned as it tumbled its way down to the valley eventually joining Sandvinvatnet (I've also seen it spelled Sandvevatnet). I've seen its height reported to be about 495m.

Directions: For directions, see the Strondsfossen page. I believe the unsealed road that I walked up was just a few paces further north of there along Rv13.
