[Gudvangen, Kilfos, Sognefjord, Norway] (LOC)

  • Atlerom said:
    The name today is written Kjelfossen. It is 840 meters high, and the official statistic of Norway (Statistic yearbook 2008) lists this waterfall as the highest in Norway. Kjelfossen is easily seen from E16, the main road between Oslo and Bergen.

Selvefos (i.e., Sivlefossen) [Sognefjord area, Norway] (LOC)

  • Bechmann³ said:
    It's Sivlefossen, actually, not Silve-, like the Norwegian poet Per Sivle (1857-1904) - raised at the farm just above this waterfall.
  • Atlerom said:
    A little more about the scenery. Per Sivle was not born here but at Flaam where his mother came from, but his father was from this place and Sivle also grew up here living with relatives as his mother died early in his age. We are not in the area of Hardangerfjord, This place is a short drive from Gudvangen at Naeroyfjord, a branch of Sognefjorden.

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called World Waterfall Database, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

    Kvikne's Hotel, Balholm. See pics of the architecture and history: dnn2.kvikneseng.gasta.no/
  • SveNor said:
    Balholm now is called Balestrand while the old name still can be in use sometimes. The large building in the middle is a hotel which is still there, Kvikne Hotel. The hotel is now white coloured with a 1974 concrete hotel room structure behind.
