Beautiful waterfalls of Norway - Langfossen - et av våre flotteste fossefall (612m)

Langfossen (også skrevet Langfoss) er en foss i Vaulaelva i Etne kommune i Hordaland.
Opptaket er gjort i august 2019 og fossen går ikke for fullt. Da må man nok besøke den i mai-juni når snøsmeltiingen på fjellet er på sitt mest intense.
Fossen har et fall på omtrent 600 meter der den faller ut i Åkrafjorden. Europavei 134 krysser fossen like over utløpet i fjorden. 1980 ble det vedtatt i verneplan for vassdrag at fossen skulle bli vernet i sommersesongen mellom 1. mai og 30. september. I et supplement ble det 18. februar 2005 vedtatt at fossen skal vernes hele året.
World Waterfall Database[1] har kåret Langfossen til verdens vakreste foss.
Mars 2011 kåret CNN/Budget Travel Langfossen til en av verdens ti vakreste fossefall
Langfossen (also written Langfoss) is a waterfall in Vaula river in Etne municipality in Hordaland, Norway..
This video was made in August 2019 and the waterfall is not at its peak. Then you must visit it in May-June when the snowmelting in the mountains is at its most intense.
The waterfall has a fall of about 612 meters where it falls into the Åkrafjord. Europ road 134 crosses the waterfall just above the outlet in the fjord. in 1980, it was decided in a water protection plan that the waterfall should be protected during the summer season between May 1 and September 30. In a supplement, it was decided on 18 February 2005 that the waterfall should be protected throughout the year.
The World Waterfall Database [1] has named Langfossen the most beautiful waterfall in the world.
March 2011, CNN / Budget Travel named Langfossen one of the world's ten most beautiful waterfalls

What an exquisite force of Nature! And that fjord is so pristine, there is not a trace of silt where the waterfall tumbles into it. Thank you for that "tour" where I had time to examine the slope itself, not just the waterfall. I wondered if the drone was going to reach the top to see what's beyond, but no. :) Is the glacier the source of year round water after the snow has melted?

The drone has a maximun height of 500 m obove where it Started. The parking lot where I was standing is approx 35 m above sea level, so I didn't get the altitude I needed. I could walk 100 to 150 m up the path nearby, but didn't have the time. I'll give it a try next time. There is no glacier on that mountain, but during the winter there is a lot of snow there and it melts during the spring :-)

@@mrtobbs Ah, I thought perhaps the drone had reached its limit. I don't know why I thought there was a glacier up there. Must be a different waterfall. Goodness knows those amazing mountains have plenty of waterfalls.
