Seven Sisters Waterfall, Norway: A Natural Phenomenon of Stunning Beauty and Rich History (circa 1910s) This photograph showcases the Seven Sisters Waterfall, a breathtaking natural wonder located in the Molde region of Norway. The waterfall, known as "Desyrefossen" in Norwegian, is renowned for its unique and intriguing appearance, with seven distinct cascades that resemble the flowing locks of seven sisters. The Seven Sisters Waterfall is nestled in the heart of a lush, verdant valley, surrounded by towering cliffs and the pristine waters of the Hjørundfjord. This fjord, with its crystal-clear waters and dramatic landscapes, is a popular destination for tourists and nature lovers from around the world. The history of the Seven Sisters Waterfall is as rich and fascinating as its beauty. According to local legend, the seven sisters were once beautiful maidens who lived in the valley. They were forbidden to marry the seven suitors who had fallen in love with them. In a desperate attempt to be together, the suitors conspired to cut down the forest that protected the valley, revealing the waterfall and forcing the sisters to flee. In their haste, they left behind their seven shawls, which transformed into the seven waterfalls as they tumbled down the cliffs. This photograph, captured in the 1910s, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the Seven Sisters Waterfall in all its splendor. The image invites us to imagine the stories and legends that have been passed down through generations, adding to the mystique and allure of this natural phenomenon.
