The Svandalsfossen waterfall is a well-known attraction located between the industrial town of Sauda and the Ropeid ferry.
The Svandalsfossen waterfall is a mighty spectacle when the river runs high. The 540 steps bring visitors into close proximity with the powerful waterfall and the lush, magical vegetation that characterises the area.
