At 46m high, Elgåfossen is Østfold’s highest waterfall, and an ideal spot for a picnic. You can admire the waterfall, which often freezes over in winter, from one of two bridges at the bottom of the fall (it’s a short walk from the parking area). If you are feeling energetic, there is a path and wooden stairs to the top, from which you can enjoy good views of the area. You can also have your picture taken with one foot in Sweden and one in Norway – Elgåfossen marks the border between the two countries, and the two flags adorn the little bridge crossing the stream at the top. Toilets and picnic tables onsite.
How to get there: Follow Rv22 from Halden towards Enningdalen and the Swedish border. The waterfall is clearly indicated about 500m before the border.
