Most of the designated tourist routes we'd been on had been in the mountains or up and down the steep sides of fjords, so this one was a bit different. The road hops from one small island to the next out along the edge of the open Atlantic.
I'd seen some great photos of this road and its Storseisundet Bridge on lists of the the world's most amazing roads. Photos of waves breaking over the roadway during big Atlantic storms are impressive. Even in calm weather, the bridge seems a little exposed. Fortunately, conditions were a little tamer and pretty perfect for our visit.
Eldhuset was yet another beautiful example of designing viewpoints to complement the larger features of the landscape (natural and built). In this case, everything, including the shape of the gift shop/cafe and the design of the railings along the walkway were all reflected the swoop of the bridge itself.
