The most popular of the waterfalls in the "valley of waterfalls". A 160-metre-high cascade fall. Road 13 crosses the flow on a fine old bridge and mist from the cascade keeps the road wet. Be considerate of the passing traffic.
Låtefossen is a waterfall located in Ullensvang Municipality in Vestland County, Norway. The 165-metre (541 ft) tall waterfall is unique and thus it is a well-known tourist attraction in the area. It is special in that it consists of two separate streams flowing down from the lake Lotevatnet, and as they fall, they join in the middle of the waterfall, just before going under the Norwegian National Road 13 built in 1867–69, making for a spectacular view as one drives over the old, stone, six-arched bridge.

One the large glaciers in Norway, Hardanger's main glacier, between Sørfjorden and main Hardangerfjord. Visible from a long distance because of its elevation above the deep fjords around. On clear days it is visible from Bergen and from the ocean. Arms of the big glacier stretch into the valleys below, for instance at Odda (Buerbreen) and Mauranger (Bondhusbreen in Sunndal). Summer ski resorts on the glacier. Caution: Hiking the glacier is only for experts, do not attempt a hike on your own outside marked trails at the ski resort.
Constructed between 1200 and 1250.
