Vinnu stone stairs

The Vinnu Staircase is under construction, and currently, 676 steps lead up towards Vinnufossen. The hike takes 30-40 minutes to the top from the parking area.

The kingdom of Waterfalls

Sunndal, with its majestic mountains, has several world-class waterfalls. Less known and more hidden than Vinnu is Skorga, which has a waterfall drop of 864 meters. It is Europe's second highest and is located about 2 km from Vinnu.

In addition to Vinnu and Skorga, the Åmotan waterfall is in the same area. Åmotan means river meeting, where six rivers with their waterfalls converge. Sunndal is rightly called the Realm of Waterfalls!
