Known by some as Norway’s national waterfall, Maalselvfossen is a cascading series of rapids that tumble from the Maalselv River near Andselv, Maalselv. Stroll through fragrant pine forests to reach this thundering waterfall and see one of Europe’s longest salmon ladders, a structure that aids the fish in swimming upstream. Known for its ample supply of salmon, Maalselvfossen is a great place to cast a fishing line and catch fresh fish.
