Buarbreen

Reviewed By ahsulyn - Zurich, Switzerland

One of the most beautiful hikes I’ve ever done (and I live in Switzerland where we have so many stunning hikes). This hike doesn’t take long, less than 3 hours if you’re in good shape, and the variety of terrain you see - mountains, glacier, forest, streams, waterfalls - is spectacular. The trail is rocky and steep in parts, requiring use of ropes and ladders to scramble up some of the slopes. You also have to cross a few muddy, wet areas, so be sure to wear good hiking shoes. There's parking available in Buer for a fee, as well as a campsite. Enjoy!

On our way to Hardangerfjord, we paid a visit to Steinsdalsfossen and it was a great decision. View of the valley in front of the waterfall from the top is amazing, got a good view of the waterfall from behind, very many beautiful views all around the place.

Voringsfossen

Reviewed By The-SCH-World-Travel

It's either you stop right at the top, with a bird's eye view of the waterfall, Geo coordinates as : 60.425468, 7.246463 OR like us, we choose a short hike ( 1.3km x2 ) to the base of the waterfall. You can park at 60.425203, 7.231709. Both sides of the road are widen to allow cars to park to hike to Vøringsfossen. The initial 200m is path road, after which , there are many boulders and bid rocks to overcome. But not a problem at all as just do it at your own pace and enjoy the hike. It's beautiful with a lovely weather to top it all. You can do it in 2 hours. We took about 3 hours as we had our picnic and rest at the waterfall too!
