Måbødalen

Måbødal is a valley in the municipality of Eidfjord, Hordaland province in the western part of Norway. The valley forms the transition between the fjord Eidfjord and Hardangervidda plateau. On a few kilometers, the terrain drops from 500 meters above sea level to sea level. The valley is very narrow and is surrounded by steep rock walls. In the upper part of the valley plunges over a steep rock face of the third highest waterfall in Norway the Vringsfossen 145 m in depth.

The valley is always already presented a traffic obstacle Today's road through the valley is therefore also influenced by numerous tunnels. In August 1988, happened on this route a bus accident in which 16 people, including 12 Swedish children, were killed. The old road can be traveled with a little train called Trolltoget (Eng. Troll Train ) from early June to late August.
