Ljosurdfossen is a waterfall in Møre og Romsdal county in western Norway, formed by a local stream cascading through a steep section of terrain. The fall is one of many modest cascades in the region and is visited for its scenic value and nearby walking routes.
The feature is natural with no notable built structures on site and is accessed from local roads or hiking paths that serve the surrounding rural landscape. It is typical of western Norway’s terrain where numerous streams drop through narrow valleys toward fjord systems.
There is no specific recorded construction history; the waterfall exists as part of the local watershed. The site is set within a rugged, often forested area of Møre og Romsdal and is reachable from nearby coastal and inland communities by regional roads.
The waterfall lies in western Norway’s Møre og Romsdal county, positioned within the county’s inland valleys and highland terrain rather than on the coastline.
