Many tourists come to Norway to see the country's spectacular nature, including its high waterfalls. It is contested which one is the highest as it is difficult to measure the exact height, but Kjelfossen is often considered to be the highest with 840 meters. Søndre Mardalsfoss is estimated to be the second highest with 705 meters, followed by Mongefossen.
