Seven Sisters Falls

The falls are located along Geirangerfjord in western Norway, part of the Stranda municipality in Møre og Romsdal county. Geirangerfjord itself has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2005 and is one of Norway's most visited natural attractions.

The waterfall has a total drop of approximately 250 meters (about 820 feet), with the water splitting into seven distinct parallel streams as it descends the sheer cliff face. The seven streams are most visible during the spring and summer snowmelt season.

According to Norwegian legend, the seven streams represent seven sisters, and directly across the fjord sits another waterfall called "The Suitor" (Friaren) who is said to be trying to reach them. A third waterfall nearby, "The Bridal Veil," completes the romantic tableau visible from boat tours on the fjord.

The falls are best viewed from the fjord itself, either on one of the regular sightseeing boat cruises that depart from Geiranger or from the car ferry that travels between Geiranger and Hellesylt. They can also be seen from the Ørnesvingen (Eagle Road) viewpoint high above the fjord.
