Gudbrandsjuvet

Gudbrandsjuvet (Gudbrand is a Norwegian male name, a "juv" is a ravine) is yet another tourist attraction I had no idea existed. It's along county road 63, one of several National Tourist Roads in Norway.

The main fall isn't all that spectacular.

And the main stream is almost hidden from view (the reason the pic looks a bit fuzzy is because of the mist from the water spray).

The bridge spanning the ravine is from 1919.

There are several bizarre holes and rifts in the mountain walls along the ravine.

The river Valldøla as it disappears from view. The river has plenty of salmon for the discerning fisherman.
