Hydnefossen in Hemsedal is Buskerud's highest waterfall, with an impressive total drop of 475 meter and a vertical drop of 155 meters. Its location in the river Hynda (or Hornsbekken) by Hornset is accessible for the best views from different directions, making it popular among visitors who enjoy exploring the outdoors. Ice climbing enthusiasts are welcome to take on the challenge of Hydnefossen while more leisurely travelers can go to Hydnekjaften for the perfect view. Here, they can stand directly opposite the old woman's gap for a spectacular view towards the valley floor. There is plenty of adventure to discover in this stunning natural setting, so make sure you bring your sense of adventure and explore all that Hydnefossen has to offer!
