Our suggestion: start at the parking lot at Fossli, walk to the viewing platforms below the Fossli Hotel, and follow the path to the left, down towards the step-bridge. Don’t cross the step-bridge yet, but continue on the path to the old stone bridge (1915), follow the old road and make a right and continue down the steps to the river. There’s a nice view point right below the step-bridge. Thereafter continue on to the step-bridge, go past the bridge to the left to enjoy the view from the new viewing platforms. Go further along the view points at Fossatromma to the old road. Go back to the step-bridge, walk across the bridge and continue on back to the parking lot at Fossli. You can also do this tour in reverse, starting from the new parking lot at Fossatromma.
From the old road at Fossatromma you can walk approx. 2 km down the Måbødalen valley to the trail that leads to the bottom of the waterfall. You can hike to the old bridge crossing the river below the waterfall, but the bridge is closed due to it being un-safe, so please do not attempt to cross it.
Parking and toilet facilities at Fossli and Fossatromma are available from 01.04. – 31.10 - subject to small / normal amounts of snow, might open later and /or close earlier due to snow, ice and weather conditions.
