34 Husedalen valley - the four great waterfalls Starting point: Follow the local road signposted Husedalen from route 13 in the centre of Kinsarvik. Parking: Near the go-kart circuit and the shooting range, before crossing the river Vivippo. Turn back if you see the helicopter base on the right side. Parking fee: free Length: 5 km (one way), or less if turning back earlier. Total ascent: 700 meters, or less if turning back earlier. Total walking time: 3-6 hours (2 waterfalls or 4 waterfalls) Season (average year): May – October About the trail: This trail has been known for decades as one of the most beautiful hikes in Norway. Some parts are demanding and steep, slippery when wet. The hike takes you into the Hardangervidda National Park, the largest in Norway. After parking, hike along the gravel road to the first waterfall Tveitafossen. From here there are two options: 1) Follow a partly quite steep trail marked with red Ts, from behind the power station. May be slippery. 2) Follow a steep gravel road that ends before the third waterfall. Continue to the third and fourth waterfall on the T-marked trail. The gravel road is also a nice return path. You may also start hiking in the centre of Kinsarvik, adding an extra 2 km each way. 700 1224 123 923 766 1304 221 846 1161 756 796 11 1166 642 978 Reinsbrekkene Åsmarki Nykkjesøy Tverrelvi Stora Vi Nonsnuten Kongsbergvegen Heng Grytingsvatnet Vetla Nykkjesøyfossen G Errenuten Kinsarvik Husedalen Kvanndal Nykkjesøytjørni Tveitafjellet Nyastølfossen Tveitafossen Kvanndal Hylen Kinnalii Vivippo Skiljingeskar Kvanndalshovet Kinso Bjørnabykset Hus Sandvik Bråvoll Hardangervidda National Park Hardangervidda National Park 0 300 600 900 m 13 Lofthus / Lofthus / Odda Odda The Hardanger The Hardanger Bridge Bridge Challenging Ullensvang herad Tourist information: Ullensvang tourist information in Kinsarvik: +47 53 66 31 12, [email protected] The third waterfall Nykkjesøyfossen. ©RHF/Hege Grane Hisdal.
