Our hike followed the river upwards, and eventually we realized, after crossing a tempting bridge that wasn’t necessarily on our route, that we had to now cross BACK OVER the river. Only, the river was pretty large. We walked alongside it as long as possible, eventually the ground became so soft that we went barefoot. Yet – no matter have far we walked, we did not find a crossing, and the one spot that our map showed to be a crossing was, in fact, just water. So, we did what we had to do and tried to cross this fast ice-cold river without falling into it.

With a few wobbles here and there, and a truly cold foot bath, we made it!

We then walked back along the other direction, as we knew that the river flowed over a cliff and we definitely wanted to see that.

This was such a breathtaking sight. The river split just before the edge, and on one side flowed down gracefully, while on the other it rushed off with immense power. Combined with silhouettes of mountains and a sprawling landscape in the background, this has to be one of my favorite views yet.

We also saw perhaps the Norwegian dream going on, as a man was quite literally fishing in the waterfall. Fishing… in... a... waterfall. Honestly, I didn’t even know that was a thing.

But look!

Look at his face!

He caught a fish and he is certainly happy about that.
