▪️ Consider renting a 4x4 vehicle, as some roads may require high clearance.

▪️The best time to visit Haifoss is during the summer months (end of May to August) when the weather is milder and the roads are more accessible.

How to reach the viewpoint:

▪️ From the parking to the viewpoint, there are about 5 minutes.

Time necessary:

▪️You need about 30 minutes to enjoy the waterfall

ℹ️ Other information
