Fottur til Rjukanfossen

Rjukanfossen i Tovdal er imponerende og hvert år er det mange som tar turen fra Dale, opp langs den vernete Tovdalselva til Rjukanfossen. Turen starter ved å krysse elva på bru og følge Tovdalselva i vekslende terreng, men på god sti innover mot fossen og Årdalen. Når man har kommet opp den første bratte kneiken er det fin utsikt ned til gårdene på Dale. Det er mange greie hvileplasser på turen innover, kanskje finest på ei lita slette der man kommer helt ned til en kulp i elva. Det er høye fjell på begge sider av elva og man skal være heldig med tidspunktet om man skal se sola på turen innover dalen. Er det stor vannføring i elva er det lette duskregnet det første tegnet på at vi nærmer oss fossen. En siste kneik og man er oppe på den grønne sletta tvers over for fossen. Dusjregnet fra fossen gjør at denne sletta og terrenget rundt får tilført ekstra vanning og er nok en forklaring på frodigheten. Rjukanfossen er 45 meter høy og blir betegnet som Aust-Agders høyeste vannfall. Å få noe godt foto av fossen i full høgde er imidlertid ikke så enkelt. Kanskje er det best innsyn litt nord for den grønne sletta. Det anbefales en tur videre innover elva, her er fine flate fjell, stille vann som innbyr til bading. Årdalen er et område som er godt egnet for det enkle friluftslivet og uten noen form for tilrettelegging. En tur opp denne dalen til de gamle stølsbuene på Ånebjørg og Videstøyl er absolutt å anbefale. Fram og tilbake fra Dale er en ovekommelig dagstur. Middels krevende fottur 6,5 km 4 t Turen går tur/retur samme vei 178 høydemeter totalt Rjukanfossen in Tovdal is an impressive waterfall, and every year many people make the trip from Dale, following the protected Tovdalselva river up to Rjukanfossen. The hike begins by crossing the river on a bridge and then follows Tovdalselva through varied terrain, but on a well-marked trail heading toward the waterfall and Årdalen valley. After climbing the first steep hill, there is a beautiful view down to the farms at Dale. Along the trail, there are many good spots to rest — perhaps the nicest is a small clearing where you can get right down to a deep pool in the river. The river is flanked by tall mountains on both sides, and you need some luck with timing if you want to see the sun during the hike into the valley. If the water level is high, a fine mist is often the first sign that you are nearing the waterfall. One final climb brings you to the green meadow directly across from the falls. The spray from the waterfall provides extra moisture to this meadow and surrounding terrain, likely explaining its lush vegetation. Rjukanfossen is 45 meters high and is considered the tallest waterfall in Aust-Agder. However, getting a good photo of the entire height of the waterfall is not easy. The best view may be slightly north of the green meadow. A continued hike along the river is recommended — here you’ll find smooth, flat rock formations and calm water that invites swimming. Årdalen is a great area for simple, back-to-nature outdoor experiences with no developed facilities. A trip further up the valley to the old mountain farms at Ånebjørg and Videstøyl is definitely recommended. A round trip from Dale is a manageable day hike. Moderately demanding hike 6.5 km 4 hours total 178 meters total elevation gain
