The magnificent Geiranger Fjord is located in the Sunnm¿re region of M¿re og Romsdal county, Norway. One of NorwayÕs most popular tourist attractions, it was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005. Like all fjords in Norway, its natural beauty is enhanced by myriads of waterfalls cascading down its steep cliffs. The Seven Sisters (De Syv S¿strene) is the most noted of these; it consists of seven separate streams, the tallest of which has a free fall to the fjord base of 250 metres. Geiranger fjord is a stunning, epic sight at any time. Eidfjord is a small town in Hardanger District, on the west coast of Norway. It is situated at the end of the Eidfjorden, an inner branch of the large Hardangerfjorden, and is a common stopping place for scenic cruises. Beyond the high mountains surrounding the fjord, the narrow, picturesque MŒb¿dalen valley leads upland to the astonishing V¿ringfossen waterfall, one of Norway's more famous scenic sights. This has a total drop of 183m. This view of the falls is from the small hydroelectric dam of the Bjoreia River
