Tvindefossen
Now given its relatively light flow, I reckon it can run dry not far into Summer. In fact, a proprietor at the Vossestolen Hotel in Oppheim showed me a pair of photos he took (one that was dry and one that was gushing the next day following a thunderstorm). By the way, apparently Voss is the same town where they make the brand of bottled water by the same name (I didn't know this until a coworker bought me one of these). The town is also known for Winter sports as apparently it has spawned more Winter Olympics participants than any other county in Norway. Directions: From Voss, drive north on Road 13 for 12km. The falls will be on the left hand side near Tvinde Camping.
