Ramnefjellsfossen
A tiered waterfall on the shore of Lovatnet with a total drop of about 800 meters, often counted among the world's tallest, and visible from the lakeside road.
Ramnefjellsfossen lies on the east shore of the southern stretch of Lovatnet, on the cliffs of Ramnefjell, with a total drop of about 818 meters. Made up of multiple cascades, it is one of the tallest waterfalls in Norway and in the world. The mountainside where the waterfall sits collapsed in 1905 and again in 1936, triggering huge waves on Lovatnet that destroyed the villages of Bødal and Nesdal at its foot. There is no trail to get close to the waterfall. The best views are from the lakeside road or from sightseeing boats on the lake, and it can be combined with a visit to the Kjenndalsbreen glacier. Water volume is high during snowmelt and decreases in late summer.
