The Stairs: The terrain is steep and was almost impossible to walk in. The new trail, made of natural stone and formed in the terrain, became a central nerve of the project. It connects the different experiences of the waterfall and places of interest, creating a meeting of nature and culture.

The showers: At the bottom of the valley, a universal designed pathway leads into the foot of the fall. Here, visitors will experience the extreme power of the water, and be completely showered.

Our intention has been to make gentle interventions, which look like they have always been in the terrain – despite their modern form.

The lower Ledge: The lower ledge invites the visitor to the side of the waterfall. On this quiet place, the visitor can admire the fall up close with no spray or mist.

The national Tourist Routes of Norway, on the site of Skjervsfossen.The project invites visitors to tune into and enjoy the landscape. The viewpoints offer different experiences of the waterfall; either by looking at the wild river flow just before it drops, feeling the excitement, standing on the edge of the fall, listening to the rumbling of the cascade in the lush forest, or experiencing the extreme power of the water at the foot of the fall.
