WHAT A VIEW! Check out these stunning rest stops and viewing platforms that combine cool design with dramatic scenery along Norway's National Tourist Routes. À Ureddplassen This could be the world's most photogenic rest stop. Set along the Norwegian Scenic Route Helgelandskysten between Holm and Godøystraumen is a waveshaped restroom made of concrete and frosted glass. It features a viewing area with marble benches and amphitheater steps leading down to the beach. ¼ Stegastein Viewpoint Between Aurland and Lærdal is one of the region's most photographed viewpoints. A wooden platform juts out 30 meters from the mountainside, offering visitors panoramic views of Aurlandsfjord. Â Trollstigen From the viewing platform to the visitor's center, Trollstigen (troll's ladder) is a must-see along the Geiranger-Trollstigen tourist route. There are several viewpoints in the area. If you're feeling bold, step out 200 meters above the winding Trollstigen road. sonsofnorway.com VIKING MAY 2020 15 TOP TO BOTTOM: LARS GRIMSBY / STATENS VEGVESEN, NILS VIK / SAUNDERS ARCHITECTURE, ROGER ELLINGSEN / STATENS VEGVESENhttp://www.sonsofnorway.com
