River Source
The powerful waters of Vøringsfossen are fed by the Bjoreio River, which cascades dramatically into the Måbødalen valley.
Plateau Connection
The waterfall is located at the top of the scenic Måbødalen valley, which leads up to the vast Hardangervidda mountain plateau, northern Europe's largest high mountain plateau.
