Sarp Falls[2][3][4] (Norwegian: Sarpefossen or Sarpsfossen) is a waterfall at Sarpsborg in Østfold, Norway.[1][5] It is the second largest waterfall in Europe by discharge, after the Rhine Falls.

This is the last waterfall on the Glomma River, which is the longest river in Norway. Sarp Falls has one of the greatest flows of any waterfall in Europe. Both Rhine Falls and Dettifoss are larger and more powerful waterfalls in Europe but, while those waterfalls have between 200 and 500 m3/s (7,100 and 17,700 cu ft/s) of average water flow, Sarp Falls has approximately 577 m3/s (20,400 cu ft/s).[6] Just above Sarp Falls is a road bridge with a vista point. There are also vista points on the east side of the falls.
