About
Driving further into the valley, you will cross a bridge over a canyon and reach another parking lot. The marked trail to Gorsabrua starts here (1,8 km) and this walk is easy. Lamb are eating grass in the trench and there is a full view over the valley along the trail. When reaching the bridge, Gorsabrua; prepare for some tickling height fear! An enormous waterfall flows down into the 153 metres high canyon and you have a fantastic view over it when standing on the bridge. On Saturdays during the summer, you can bungee jump from an exit-ramp on the middle of the bridge. It is probably one of the northernmost bungee jumps that you can find!

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Absolutely worth visiting.
Jun 2023 • Family
Very nice place. We travelled with our motorhome, and the road to the closest parkinglot is pretty bad, so we left the car at a parkinglot at another bridge. We had to travel by feet about 3-4km and the weather was hot so the kids were pretty tired of walking over 7km. But it was worth it. The view at the canyon is amazing, and you can feel the power of the water falling.

Amazing place, road would need maintenance
Jul 2020 • Family
An amazing place! The road to lower parking space has quite a lot so driving is slow. From there it’s 3,8km walk to the bridge via Ankerlia mining area. You can continue to the upper parking space, the road is narrow and could be difficult if it’s raining. From the upper parking space it’s 1,8km walk to bridge. The path is well marked and easy to walk with good shoes. By the bridge there’s a resting place with tables ect.

Magnificent view
Aug 2019 • Solo
Gorsa bridge is laid over the deepest canyon in Europe. From it you can see the 153 meters high waterfall. The view is breathtaking and the hike is nice and easy. From the car parking drive up. 10 minutes and you feel like you’re on the moon. Beautiful scenery, lake and great views.

A walk with lambs and beautiful scenery
Jun 2019 • Couples
When you drive up then cross the first bridge as well and drive a little bit more until you reach next parking lot. From there the walk to the Gorsa is as beautiful as the destination point itself. Be aware of the lamb sh*t though. Enjoy!

Gorgeous!
Aug 2018 • Couples
We parked up the hill, from there you can follow a very easy trail of 2km that will lead you to the bridge and canyon.
We had the place all to ourselves, around 6pm.
It was one of our highlights, beautiful and wild, the bridge is very high up over roaring waterfalls, and the canyon and view is amazing. The road towards Gorsabrua is unpaved, so you drive slow. The scenery is unparalleled!

So worth the visit!!! Amazing bridge
Sep 2018 • Couples
If don’t want to do the long hike tour uphill, I recommend driving to the closest point and walk only 1.5 km. This is a beautiful and fairly easy walk. We passed a flock of sheep along the way. The views of the waterfall and bridge once there was amazing.

Breathtaking view down to the canyon
Sep 2018 • Friends
The bridge over the deepest canyon in northern Europe offers a breathtaking view down to the canyon. The private road up to the parking places is terrible with a normal car like VW Passat, but if you drive carefully it's doable. The walk from the first bridge is a real hike, so if your car can get up there I'd recommend driving to the upper parking place next to the pathway to the bridge.

This bridge is worth the short walk
Sep 2018 • Couples
I recommend the walk through the old mining site. The climb is bit more demanding, but still an easy one. The view over the canyon is well worth it.

An interesting walk.
Aug 2016 • Couples
We walked from the bottom carpark, through the old mines which was interesting. A fair walk up to the bridge and wow, it feels so high and slightly scary! Great views! Crossed the bridge and walked back to the car park via the old road. A great afternoon!
