Stalheimsfossen
Stalheimsfossen is a waterfall located in the village of Stalheim in Voss Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. The waterfall has one 126-metre (413 ft) tall horsetail drop. The famous Stalheim Hotel lies just a short distance from the falls. The river Stalheimselvi is funneled through a small opening in a cliff before flowing out over the falls, into a bowl-shaped gorge at the bottom, ejecting a large spray of water at the bottom.[1]
