Huldra

One of the best photo opportunities of the Flam Ralway is a stop at the Kjosfossen waterfall.

 

Here, as passengers disembark on the viewing platform for a short break, a mysterious woman with long hair and a red dress emerges from the forest, dancing to a Norwegian folk song.

 

She is the Huldra, an elusive forest spirit from Norse mythology. According to local folklore, she lures men into the woods to seduce them.
