Waterfall·Rugged, Powerful, Rewarding
Månafossen stands as one of Rogaland's most spectacular natural attractions, featuring a powerful 92-meter free-fall into a verdant valley. The journey to the viewpoint is brief—roughly 15 to 20 minutes—but involves a significant incline over rocky terrain where fixed chains assist climbers. Beyond the main falls, the trail continues to the historic Mån mountain farm, offering a peaceful spot for a picnic. Visitors should come prepared with sturdy footwear, as the path can become slippery, especially after the heavy rains that make the waterfall most impressive.
