Feigefossen
Feigefossen, the waterfall I saw the day before while climbing Nipa, is located on the eastern side of the Lustrafjord, just opposite the village of Gaupne.The still visible snow cover on the tops of the surrounding mountains and warm days meant that the waterfall was fed by huge amounts of water from the spring thaw.And it made an amazing impression even from a distance of 10 km, because that was more or less the distance when I was on Nipa.
