Tvindefossen (also written Tvinnefossen; also called Trollafossen[1]) is a waterfall in Voss Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located about 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) north of the village of Vossevangen along the European route E16 road to Flåm.[2][3][unreliable source?]

The many-stranded waterfall, often said to be 152 metres (499 ft) high,[2] is actually 116 metres (381 ft),[2] is formed by a small Kroelvi stream,[1] tumbling over a receding cliff.[4] It is famous for its beauty.[5] Buses sometimes stop for people to admire it.[6] It was painted in 1830 by Johan Christian Dahl.[7]

In addition, in the late 1990s the water at Tvindefossen acquired a reputation for rejuvenation and revival of sexual potency that made it one of the most important natural tourist attractions in western Norway, with as many as 200,000 people a year from the U.S., Japan and Russia visiting and filling containers with the water.[8][9]

At one point it was Norway's ninth most visited natural attraction, with 272,000 visitors.[10]
