Seven Sisters Waterfall, Norway
- Seven Sisters Waterfall, Norway
The Seven Sisters (no: "Syv Søstre", or "Syv Systre") is a waterfall consisting of seven separate streams in Geirangerfjord, Norway. The tallest one has a free fall that measures 250 meters.
The legend of the seven sisters is that they dance playfully down the mountain, while the courtier (a single waterfall opposite of the seven sisters) flirts playfully from across the fjord. It is also called Friaren [http://www.world-of-waterfalls.com/norway-friaren.html] .
