Hivjufossen waterfall is a slightly hidden gem on
FV50, which is worth visiting.
Storåne is the name of the river that runs from
Strandavatnet and down through the valley along
FV50, creating Sudndalsfjorden, Hovsfjorden, and
Holsfjorden. Even though the watercourse is regulated,
there are some places that are quite nice. Especially
wild is where Storåne meets the tributary Hivju by the
road, a couple of kilometers before Sudndalsfjorden.
There you will find a parking area. Use this to see the
river, and go up along the tributary to Hivjufossen
waterfall, which you can’t see from the road. It casca-
des out from the mountain in 2 stages, is a total of 250
meters high, and a wonderful sight, especially during
spring flooding. The falls are 1 kilometer from the
parking area, but there is a well-marked trail up to a
viewpoint close by.
