Geocache Description:

Steinsdalsfossen (også kalt Øvsthusfossen og Øfsthusfossen) ligger 2 kilometer vest for Norheimsund i Kvam kommune i Hardanger.

Scroll down for english translation

Fossen er en av de mest besøkte i Norge og er spesiell fordi det går en sti bak fossefallet hvor en kan gå tørrskodd. Fossen har et fall på 20 meter og rimelig god vannføring, særlig i mai og juni når det er snøsmelting. Steinsdalsfossen er en del av Fosselva som har sitt utspring fra Myklavatn som ligger 814 moh.

Steinsdalsfossen (also called Øvsthusfossen or Øfsthusfossen) is a waterfall in the village of Steine in the municipality of Kvam in Hordaland county, Norway. The waterfall is located about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) west of the large village of Norheimsund which sits along the Hardangerfjorden.

For å finne denne cachen, må du gå opp stien som fører deg inn bak fossen.
PS! Stien er ofte vinterstengt, og dermed er denne cachen dessverre utilgjengelig mye av vinterhalvåret!

NB! Ikke klatr over sikringen. Cachen befinner seg på platået, innenfor gjærdet!



English translation

The waterfall is one of the most visited tourist sites in Norway. From the parking lot, the path goes along the waterfall, up a hill, and behind it where visitors can walk dryshod "into" the rumbling water. Steinsdalsfossen is 46 metres (151 ft) high, with a main drop of 20 metres (66 ft), and has the greatest volume when the snow melts in May and June. Steinsdalsfossen is part of the Fosselva river that comes from the water of the lake Myklavatnet, located 814 metres (2,671 ft) above sea level in the mountains above the waterfall.

To find this cache, you need to walk up the path that takes you behind the waterfall.
Note: The path is often closed during the winter, and the cache is therefore unfortunately often not available in the winter!

Do NOT climb over the fence. The cache is located inside the fence!.
