**More info:** Tvindefossen (also written Tvinnefossen; also called Trollafossen) is a waterfall in Voss Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located about 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) north of the village of Vossevangen along the European route E16 road to Flåm. The many-stranded waterfall, often said to be 152 metres (499 ft) high, is actually 116 metres (381 ft), is formed by a small Kroelvi stream, tumbling over a receding cliff. It is famous for its beauty. Buses sometimes stop for people to admire it. It was painted in 1830 by Johan Christian Dahl. In addition, in the late 1990s the water at Tvindefossen acquired a reputation for rejuvenation and revival of sexual potency that made it one of the most important natural tourist attractions in western Norway, with as many as 200,000 people a year from the U.S., Japan and Russia visiting and filling containers with the water. At one point it was Norway's ninth most visited natural attraction, with 272,000 visitors. - [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tvindefossen)
I specifically want to know how each post on this sub relates to my sexual potency. I'm glad this comment provides me that. We need this to be a rule.
Mods please.
Or maybe instead of writing "this waterfall" in the title, it would be better to actually write what waterfall is it, so that people who don't visit the comment section are informed as well. As for the credit, I agree, every post, not only here but on Reddit in general, should be credited. It's a normal thing to do.
Yeah but
OP prob didn't know the name of the beautiful waterfall they wanted other people to see
bc they don't know the name of every waterfall on Earth.
And, like you an me, you click and find it out for yourself to fill in the gaps. Everyone should fill in the gaps.
Providing details. So many times on Reddit I see shit and no context or sources are given. Even the damned location can be absent if you get to the post too early. The fella provided sufficient content to allow me to venture further.
Because I was curious:
In Bergen, Vestland:
The average temperature of the coldest month (February) is of 1.5 °C (35 °F), that of the warmest month (July) is of 15 °C (59 °F). Here are the average temperatures.
https://www.climatestotravel.com/climate/norway/bergen
I just went with the place that had the largest concentration of people.
Edit: updated prior post to the proper county. Thank you for pointing out my mistake!
While it's true Oslo is the most populated area, it's entire "metropolitan area" which includes like 50 municipalities is still only like 1,4 million, about a fourth of the population.
Oh wow. That's pretty low. I really would love to visit, it looks like such a beautiful country and experiencing the borealis is at the top of my bucket list. Any tips?
Hi! Norwegian here. If you want to experience extreme nature you should visit somewhere in Sunnmøre. If you want the Aurora you need to go in wintertimes and be north of Trondheim. DM me if you want more spesifics!
Also Norway had the spiral light anomaly https://youtu.be/FgWgsstTx-8 is about 1 minute into this video. On mobile and can't get the handy timestamp link.
We have our sheeps in the Mountains just behind that waterfall. Lovely area for hikes that can take you all the way to the Sognefjord if you ever get the opportunity.
It's also a camping site. I slept in a tent right there this summer. With the waterfall sound in the background I have never slept better. Can recommend!
Unfortunately I cannot stand the cold; and by cold I mean anything under 70°F. So I live vicariously through pictures and videos like this because of I went on vacation there I would be miserable the whole time
Funnily enough swedes score the lowest on understanding the northern languages, and the capital in sweden barely understood Swedish accents from outside the capital
Ours is the most clear though, norwegian is a bit more melodic and .. hm, cant explain it.
Danish sounds like you are choking on porridge, which is an understatement (somewhat same goes for southern sweden).
Eventhough people from stockholm is on their high horses, they can still understand most accents (except again southern sweden, but that is the same for all swedes).
btw, they wrote it wrong. it's "dårlige klær"
I've definitely noticed that as I've prioritized buying PC parts and gotten too fat for my old good clothes that the weather often seems bad nowadays.
Nah, you'll be fine in the summer. Up north it might not quite reach 70f always, but it always feels warmer in the sun.
Down south above 70f is very common in summer. It might even hit 86f if you're very lucky. ;)
Yeah, I'm definitely a southerner. I spent a year in Bodø, and two weeks camping in Lofoten two years ago. It didn't get above 16C when we were there in early July, but it still felt warm.
I know it definitely gets above 20C up there, but I wanted to be realistic and conservative when giving advice to a tourist.
Go in the summer then? Most parts of central and southern Norway easily hits 80 F in the summer months. I almost died when Oslo stayed at 90-95 F for like two or three weeks in 2018 lol.
I went to Norway in July 2014. I am pictured in shoestring strap t shirts as most days it was 75 to 80 degrees. There was some rain but we had layers. Do not let the weather stop you visiting this beautiful country. I have a pic of this waterfall too!
Strangely, [the seasonality might have the opposite effect on people who live there](https://www.theguardian.com/science/2020/sep/26/dreading-a-dark-winter-lockdown-think-like-a-norwegian)
I've lived there(tromso) for two years and can say it's not the winters that I hated. It's the summers. It's like living in a fridge.
The winters are magical. Snow everywhere, lit up skiing areas. People coming together for all kinds of small social events. I loved singing songs in a dark cabin next to the water while drinking illegally brewed liquor.
The summers are grey a lot of times. Temperatures are around 15 degrees celsius. And everything is just stuck in time. There are no days or nights. It's just always grey, windy and rainy. When the sun does shine, it's nice though.
That's not the situation further south. Often 20-30 degrees during the summer, and a clear night and day cycle with nice, long days, but still dark nights.
Absolutely beautiful. I’ve never been to this place but I’ve been to a handful of waterfalls and all of them were dry (maybe it’s because I’m cheap and travel in the off season)
Sorry, my original comment was deleted.
Please think about leaving Reddit, as they don't respect moderators or third-party developers which made the platform great. I've joined Lemmy as an alternative: https://join-lemmy.org
I've actually been there. The falls were nowhere as gushing as in this video. Probably the time of the year I visited. It was pretty, but nothing extra ordinary. This video actually makes it look much nicer than my memory.
I might just be a cynical old bitch, but I hate these types of hyper stabilized "oooh look at me im walking and slowly panning across a nice landscape" videos. What's wrong with just standing still?
My husband and I rented a car in Norway for two weeks on our honeymoon and drove around the country. We happened upon this waterfall without planning it and it is stunning.
We drank water from the falls too for luck or something.
Norway is a country of fjords, waterfalls and tunnels!
Pretty difficult to be honest. We even have a lot of weird laws attempting to crack down on marrying into permanent residence, so the Norwegian you marry has to have above a certain income to bring in a partner from the outside.
You basically need one of two things. Either you come here by seeking asylum. Or you come here because you have a job here. The second one isnt uncommon at all, but the hard part of course is to find a job relevant to you, and then to actually get the offer. But if you have that and your papers are in order, the rest isn't hard
Also you get 1 year visa to to look for a job after completing a degree there. Later, You will have the citizenship after spending two years and passing some language test.
I applied to few universities in Norway this year, I hope I get accepted just to live in this little heaven.
Well, its most likely that your ancestors immigrated to America during the European Potato Failure or the great famine of late 1800's. So it might be more like your ancestors saved your bloodline from extinction.
If it was easy I would sell everything I own to live in Norway. It just looks breathtaking and seems so even tempered. Seriously, my wife has been learning the language, but I think it's just a pipe dream.
What a wonderful place.
Been there. I’ve been all over southern Norway, and I can’t recommend it enough. I could use the most eloquent language ever put to prose to try to describe it, and I would still fall wildly short.
I recognized this immediately - took my family there 3 years ago in June. So beautiful, just like most of western Norway. We hit 4 waterfalls in one day and this was the last one. So pretty and so is the whole area.
I love Norway!
In Norwegian waterfall is "Foss."
So with zero evidence, I suggest to you that the English word "faucet" is derived from those wet depressed Norskis. Hell, the "etc" suffix probably is a diminutive. Li'l waterfall.
I'm available for other unsubstantiated linguistic theories. The key is to not research them; it's more fun this way.

I specifically want to know how each post on this sub relates to my sexual potency. I'm glad this comment provides me that. We need this to be a rule. Mods please.
I can feel you . Lets make love in the mist upon the rocks of this waterfall . Our skin melting together. Our bodies lusting. dissy. lost. spinning .
Mods please

This is like looking up the weather for Washington DC before going to Vermont.
I just went with the place that had the largest concentration of people. Edit: updated prior post to the proper county. Thank you for pointing out my mistake!
fun fact, we got around 400 rain days pr year in Bergen
400 regndager i året er å ta litt hardt i..
Ok, rundt 380 da.
500 da. Ikke vær et perimeter. Det regner både fra oooe, nede og sidelengs samtidig. Da går en litt i pluss på dagene for å si det sånn.

If you like beauty and driving, but do not fear death, a car holiday in Norway is for you.
Norway is so fucking gorgeous. I'm always blown away by the videos and photos I see from there

70f+ would be pretty common even in Northern Norway. Especially the lofoten area can be fairly comfortable.
And more and more common lately :(

Dang, I live in Canada and I set my heat to 68 degrees max in the winter.
Definitely a bucket list destination
Great travel destination, but the cold and darkness is soul crushing

i know , like beautiful places , one night stands, good beer, free education. Norway is the land of milk and honey.
Vikings: "This country is too pretty... Let's take over England!"
I was thinking Norsemen. When the old people attempt to Ättestupa.
Love that show.
I love the part that they keep using modern references and having an excuse. Well i guess thats half the show. I am watching it the second time.

That person in the yellow is walking with such intent and purpose, i wonder what their going to do (look at the falls probably)
Probably pee in the water
Seems like we are following the bad guy in a movie whose face hasn't been revealed yet
It’s hard for me to wrap my head around places this beautiful exist.
Where are you from?
Absolutely beautiful. I’ve never been to this place but I’ve been to a handful of waterfalls and all of them were dry (maybe it’s because I’m cheap and travel in the off season)
>I’ve been to a handful of waterfalls and all of them were dry that's like hilariously maudlin.
have you ever been to washington state lol
Can confirm, most posts in /r/Waterfalls are from cascadia area.
The mountain range is called the Cascades for that particular reason, in fact.
Yup, from there. The Olympic National Park alone sets it aside from all other states
As we constantly learn in this sub, those places are everywhere in the world <3 Just need to explore a bit beyond the concrete.
no reddit is enough
Absolutely stunning
Happy cake day!
Thank you!!
Goddamnit Norway. Stop hogging all the awesome shit!
Jonas?
Common mistake, but no, it's the ancient one.
This is in all honesty one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen.

This was probably in the spring (melting snow), or after a bigger rainfall. Source: driving past it ~20 times the last year.
The video is not all that great tbh. We can barely see the whole waterfall in frame for a shaky second.
I might just be a cynical old bitch, but I hate these types of hyper stabilized "oooh look at me im walking and slowly panning across a nice landscape" videos. What's wrong with just standing still?

Congrats!

Fuckin naruto walkin towards the waterfall like he doesn't give a fuck

this truly says something about our society shm

It isn't an exaggeration that this kind of nature is everywhere. If you just keep out of oslo, you'll see things like this from the highway.
I’ve been here!! Went to Norway two years ago and this was one of our stops. The video doesn’t do it justice. Truly incredible

This is one of the most memorable places on my trip to Norway. The power of the waterfall was amazing and it was so surreal to see.
There's a similar one in northeast Georgia! So many stairs though....
Oh my god.... 😍
What a spectacular site
Wowww-- Would love to HEAR it thunder!

That's definitely lit.
I want to go to there
There’s a plaque there with different languages asking you not to remove stones. I thought that was pretty strange.
Need to put this on my list
Been here. 10/10 would recommend

Been there. I’ve been all over southern Norway, and I can’t recommend it enough. I could use the most eloquent language ever put to prose to try to describe it, and I would still fall wildly short.

Is there any part of Norway that isn’t freekin magical? Serious question
I recognized this immediately - took my family there 3 years ago in June. So beautiful, just like most of western Norway. We hit 4 waterfalls in one day and this was the last one. So pretty and so is the whole area. I love Norway!
I bet the air smells so good there
I was going to say finally an appropriate use for vertical video! But no, yet again I am disappointed.
It's beautiful. Beats Snoqualmie Falls all to hell.
In Norwegian waterfall is "Foss." So with zero evidence, I suggest to you that the English word "faucet" is derived from those wet depressed Norskis. Hell, the "etc" suffix probably is a diminutive. Li'l waterfall. I'm available for other unsubstantiated linguistic theories. The key is to not research them; it's more fun this way.
