Hike to Vettisfossen (243m fall)

…or „the hike of many waterfalls“. This hike was a recommendation by a guide we met by chance the day earlier. The guides and volunteers who mark the hiking trails in the three National parks around here had their „End of Season“ get together that Sunday.
We had noticed that the one challenging thing coming off season is, that many things have or are closing for the Winter. Not by much: If you want to get the best of it, hit the last August week in Lofoten and make sure you pass through the Northern mainland before mid September, that would be the best of the two worlds.
Anyway, the hike went along this beautiful turquoise river, a nice and easy incline as well as off-road car road - not something we were used to here. it’s usually steep and very muddy and rocky. We would find out this was just the beginning - with all those challenges waiting at the tail-end when we were already adequately tired. 😂😅
There were 4 really large waterfalls and just as many medium sized ones. But the goal of the expedition wa the Vettisfossen. With 243m free fall it is the „highest in Northern Europe“ they said 🤷🏼‍♀️ it was impressive.Read more
