Seven Sisters Waterfall
Dei sju systrene
Seven parallel waterfalls tumbling about 250 metres down the north shore of Geirangerfjord, facing the Suitor waterfall across the water.
The Seven Sisters Waterfall (Knivsflåfossen) consists of seven slender cascades side by side, falling about 250 metres from the cliff straight into the fjord. It is the most famous sight in Geirangerfjord. Legend says the Suitor waterfall across the fjord proposed to each of the seven sisters in turn and was rejected every time. In despair he drank to drown his sorrows, which is why the waterfall is shaped like a bottle. The main ways to view it are from the Geiranger–Hellesylt ferry, fjord sightseeing boats or RIB speedboats. You can also see it from the Eagle Road viewpoint in the distance, or hike to the Skageflå farm on the opposite shore and look down.
