Fossen er en av de mest besøkte i Norge og er spesiell fordi det går en sti bak fossefallet hvor en kan gå tørrskodd. Fossen har et fall på 20 meter og rimelig god vannføring, særlig i mai og juni når det er snøsmelting. Steinsdalsfossen er en del av Fosselva som har sitt utspring fra Myklavatn som ligger 814 moh.
Steinsdalsfossen (also called Øvsthusfossen or Øfsthusfossen) is a waterfall in the village of Steine in the municipality of Kvam in Hordaland county, Norway. The waterfall is located about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) west of the large village of Norheimsund which sits along the Hardangerfjorden.
Nede ved parkeringsplassen er det bygget et helt nytt og moderne visitor senter.
English translation
The waterfall is one of the most visited tourist sites in Norway. From the parking lot, the path goes along the waterfall, up a hill, and behind it where visitors can walk dryshod "into" the rumbling water. Steinsdalsfossen is 46 metres (151 ft) high, with a main drop of 20 metres (66 ft), and has the greatest volume when the snow melts in May and June. Steinsdalsfossen is part of the Fosselva river that comes from the water of the lake Myklavatnet, located 814 metres (2,671 ft) above sea level in the mountains above the waterfall.
The new visitor centre is located by the parking-area, where you can watch the waterfall from a distance.
