Tvindefossen, also called Trollafossen, is a waterfall in Voss Municipality, Vestland county, western Norway, about 12 km north of the village of Vossevangen in a straight line, on the European route towards Flåm. The waterfall is often said to be 152 metres high but is in fact 116 metres, formed by the small Kroelvi stream tumbling over a stepped cliff. It is famous for its beauty and was painted in 1830 by Johan Christian Dahl. Buses sometimes stop here so passengers can admire it, and at one point it was Norway's ninth most visited natural attraction, with 272,000 visitors. White water falls in many branching strands over grey rock steps, like a curtain of water across the cliff face. Green forest surrounds it, with open green meadows at its foot. Visitors stop at the falls beside the road and walk to the base for a close view and photographs. It makes a good short stop on the road between Voss and Flåm. The rocks near the water are slippery, so take care.
