August 26, 2025,Elgåfossen Wasserfall – Elgafossen Wasserfall Runde von Vassbotten

We extended our visit to Elgafossen with a short circular walk, as it's practically a drive-through.

If more water thunders down there, it would certainly be spectacular – but it's also beautiful to watch. It's also a great spot for a picnic; there's even a large fire pit.

A beautiful hike between countries and weather. Norwegian rain greeted us punctually at the border. Along the way, the sun came out and showed us a beautiful landscape. LG🙋‍♀️
