NordicLife Culture + Taste + History + Events + Personalities Getting close to nature Those looking for the new visitor center at the Kvås waterfall in Lyngdal, Norway, might pass it by the first time around. The cliff-side building blends in with its natural surroundings, mirroring the tones of the forest and the Lygna river nearly 50 feet below. Renowned Norwegian architecture firm Rever & Drage finished construction on the center last year, which features an underground salmon center and Norway's longest fish ladder-a series of pools that allow fish to bypass a dam. Visitors can look out from the expansive windows that frame the salmon's path upstream and walk the floating bridge that juts out over the gorge. kvasfossen.no sonsofnorway.com VIKING JULY 2018 7 PHOTO COURTESY REVER & DRAGE ARCHITECTShttp://www.kvasfossen.no http://www.sonsofnorway.com
