About this audio guide
This guide to Tvindefossen, the tiered roadside waterfall north of Voss on the way from Bergen, starts with a measurement puzzle: two figures for one cliff, and a name that changes depending on who is holding the map. It then turns to Johan Christian Dahl, the Bergen-born landscape painter who put this cascade on canvas in eighteen thirty, and to the rumours of youth and potency that drew crowds of bottle-fillers in the late nineteen-nineties. Best heard from the viewing area facing the falls.
