It was for us too

To me it was a suprise too. Didn't aspect it. Grtz. Ben

such events change lives. respect to who makes this happen

Keep doing so, it's beautiful.

@@ben50 really wish that the tourists could be able to meet up with the huldra… (maybe the huldra goes to the top at the end of the performance?) (I'm just jotting down ideas) I had this "story" in the back of my mind regarding this. It was about this woman by the name of "Meski" who reacted to scenery with singing and dancing. She was at Flåm at the time, and would go and visit Kjosfossen once in a while. She also had this red dress that she felt was very comfortable (she did not realize it was a "huldra" dress), and also a remote-controlled toy airplane (trust me, this will make sense) She went to Kjosfossen just before the train arrived, wearing her red dress. Mesmerized by the waterfall, she (naturally) started singing and dancing, as she waited for the huldra to appear. However, when the train arrived, the tourists swarmed around Meski, all wanting to have selfies, chat, and dance with her. Apparently, the tourists thought that she was the huldra (they knew that they usually can't interact with the huldra, so being able to was quite an opportunity). This erupted into a dance party at the top, and the real huldra was left utterly confused (though the huldra didn't yet realize that Meski was wearing a huldra dress) The second time, she brought her remote-controlled toy airplane with her, and attached a message to it. The dance party occurred again, leaving the huldra displeased, because her performance got "taken away from her". This time, Meski stayed at the waterfall for extra long, and waited till everyone left, then steered here toy plane to where the huldra would appear in their next performance, with the message "Dear huldra, I would like to meet with you. I will be here on . Love from the red dancing lady, Meski". This was her way of indirectly interacting with the huldra. The huldra received this message, and decided to meet Meski on the top before their performance on that day, knowing that otherwise, Meski might start another dance party, ruining the show. On the day, Meski arrived extra early; when the huldra went to the top, she realized that Meski not only looked almost the same as her, but she was also singing the "huldra song", and that was why all the tourists were attracted to her. Meski and the huldrantook some selfies, chatted and danced for a while, and then agreed to let Meski hide somewhere and only appear after the huldra's performance is done (but they will leave the music on). Just before the train arrives, They both get into their positions. Everything went successfully; after the train arrived, the tourists watched the huldra's performance, and this was followed by a party where the tourists get to have selfies, chat, and dance with this "other huldra", or Meski. The tourists loved this new idea; after all, Meski and the Huldra are both gorgeous ladies, or as one might say, magical huldras. This is basically all I've got at the back of my mind. Sorry if this comment was very long, I just felt like I had to write this down.

It was fascinating to see this wonder .It was a wonderful experience to me.

It was very amazing indeed

Mine too!!! Just amazing!

Just come back from Bergen and that Flam railway was breathtaking!!!

It's amazing, especially because they don't prepare for what you will see. I'm thinking- "This is a cool train, and we stop at really nice waterfall. We stop for 5 minutes, and out of the blue I hear a lady singing- it was nice. If my cousins (Norwegians) knew- they didn't tell me. BTW- this is one of the coolest weekends I've ever been apart of.

it is always a spectacular moment

Somnath Pal Das , it’s a beautiful culture indeed. People there are very generous, welcoming and friendly. We got to see this Huldra dance, the experience was mesmerizing, with the gushing waterfall, the music in the air and the accompanying dance. Natural beauties of Norway are breathtaking.

The same to us, we were surprised when it happened. I was happy to have my camera ready. Thanks

WHY?

Mesmerized by the waterfall, she (naturally) started singing and dancing, as she waited for the huldra (who was actually just another woman in a "huldra" dress) to appear. However, when the train arrived, the tourists swarmed around Meski, all wanting to have selfies, chat, and dance with her.

The two continued their collaboration and went on to become best friends, almost like huldra sisters. This is basically all I've got at the back of my mind.

So was I

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

@@SoundOfLachesic Yes, but what is the name of the tune/song?

I asked the Flåmsbana Backoffice. They send me following answer: "The music that is played while the huldra dances in Kjosfossen waterfall, is made especially for this performance and purpose, the name of the composer is Kjetil Røst Nilsen. The music is not available as a recording or commercial online streaming etc."

I don't know the name, but one of the reaction said this to it: She is the "Huldra", an elusive forest spirit from Norse mythology. According to local folklore, she lures men into the woods to seduce them.

@@ben50 The song is composed by Norwegian composer Kjetil Røst Nilsen :)

I don't know. Probably a norwegian song.grtz ben

I don't know. I was just surprised during the traindrive. Maybe a norwegian van tell

It's called or search on: "Huldra", the forest siren

@@ben50 Thanks.

I have looked, and it seems like someone will have to email the production company because the information does not seem to be online.

The Norwegian tourism department commissioned the song exclusively for this

effyleven Condoleeza Wurst!!!

hahaha! yeah from far away she looked so beautiful and seductive, but now i'm looking at these up-close photos and thinking "eeehhhh, not so cute. a bit scary in fact."

Alina Vaysfligel But isn’t it amazing how well the dancers, regardless of their sex, can portray the evocative & come hither-energy of the mysterious siren of the forest? I love it, no matter who’s under the costume ☺️

I don't know, someone said it's from a Huldra, Norwegian history

@@pecaya95 thank you so much 😊

There should be three persons, but it should suggested there is only one

Only for those brought up on a diet of Hollywood CGI films and TV violence.... and never seeing the art of live drama. The American woman opposite me didnt even understand what she was seeing. Saying "it was wierd ". The Chinese tourists... every single one of them... didnt know what was happening and carried on taking pictures of each other in front of the waterfall..

I’ve heard according to some traditions, that your life is only in danger if you do not satisfy her... & she may reward those that do please her! So perhaps not all would be doomed if they followed her to her secret bedding grounds :3

one can argue about taste. many people like it and appreciate it

Huldra is a part of Norwegian folklore. If you don´t appreciate it, Norway is not the country for you to experience.
