Nordelva (the northern river)

Up north in Indre Fosen municipality, not far from the border to Åfjord, there is a nice little salmon river with it’s own nature reserve: Nordelva (the northern river). We had received a tip about a rough waterfall there, Grythølsfossen (the cauldron pit waterfall), and had to check this out. So when we left Råkvåg, we passed the picturesque houses in Indre Råkvågen and arrived in…No Mans Land. Or rather: The Road To Nowhere.

While it was still a road

The road got worse and worse and finally we had to admit: this isn’t a road anymore, it’s a path. Without seeing the slightest hint of a river! Discouraging. So much that we didn’t even take a picture.

Only one thing to do: Turn around and try to find Nordelva from the other end, from Krinsvatn. And yessir, there was a river here! Not any ordinary river, it seems like it must have been King Salomos preferred recreation spot:

We could see canyons! And suddenly a waterfall! Right by the road!

This called for a bath.

Some of us are more careful than others, so it soon became a multi level bath.

Great fun!

…in an almost relaxed style.

But this wasn’t a big pit, was it really Grythølsfossen? Stay tuned for the next episode…
