Vidfoss
I believe this falls is fed by the melting glacial ice of the vast Folgefonn Glacier (Folgefonna) so it ought to have reliable flow year-round. However, I have seen photos of this waterfall in lesser flow, so it could very well be that we caught it at peak flow especially in light of the fact that it seemed to have been raining in the days prior to and during our visit. Directions: Vidfoss is about 7km north of the famous Låtefossen along Rv13 in a large open area so you can't miss it. We were able to find some nearby pullouts or shoulders so that we could get out of the car and get a less hasty view of the falls.
