Vøringfossen is a quite large and powerful waterfall in Norway. Its total height is 182 meters, the height of free fall of water is 145 meters. Curiously, even with such a scale it is the 83rd highest waterfall in the country! Although by the average flow rate it must be at the top. The waterfall is located in a very scenic place.
