Kjosfossen Waterfall is the largest and most impressive waterfall in Norway, easily winning the title of king of waterfalls. It is located in the county of Sogn og Fjordane, home to the biggest fjord of Norway, Sognefjorden. At an altitude of approximately 670 metres above the sea level, the hour-glass shaped waterfall descends 225 metres down and is one of the most popular tourist attractions.

To reach the waterfall galore, you will most probably have to take a train trip which is most likely to become one of your unforgettable memories. The train trip that allows visitors to witness the beauty of the Kjosfossen is mainly Flamsbana or the Flam Railway, a branch of the Bergen Railway. Going down 866 metres from Myrdal station, the famous little green train of Flamsbana slides to the scenic fjord village of Flam with its fairy-tale-like farmhouses and overall wilderness.

Following the route of arguably the most beautiful and steepest railroads in the world, you will see how the snowy mountains of Myrdal slowly give way to greenery creeping in and finally revealing a plethora of waterfalls. Amongst them, Kjosfossen cascades down with roaring thunder of water and you are fully exposed to it since the train runs right in front of the waterfall. Flamsbana train is much slower than the Bergen Railway one, features more stops and presents multiple precious possibilities to take magical photos.

One of the stops happens to be Kjosfossen waterfall and tourists tend to stream on the station immediately, so, naturally, it can get crowded. If the water sprays are too strong, you might need a raincoat and special waterproof protection for your camera. However, all of it pays off, because, if you're lucky enough, you will see legendary Huldra!

According to Norwegian folklore, Huldras are magical creatures, similar to nymphs, who were the hidden folk, the forest spirits. Shaped as otherworldly attractive women, they were believed to seduce travellers by dancing deep into the woods and kill them afterwards. So, as the train stops, you may see the elusive woman figure in a red dress dancing in front of the Kjosfossen to Norwegian traditional music. The performance is credited to the students of the Norwegian ballet school, who manage to breathe in the primeval charm into the landscape and elevating the tourist experience to the whole another level.
