Høse Bru

In planning this trip, we had discovered Norway's Tourist Routes. These are designated stretches of road - maybe 20 or so throughout the country - that Norway promotes heavily. The promotion benefits from a combination of spectacular scenery and some intriguing architectural features. Most of these take the form of view points, pedestrian bridges, and occasionally, cafes. Many of these will appear in subsequent posts.

Høse Bru, in Sand, was the key feature of this section of the Ryfylke route. The steel bridge spanned the Suldålslagen River, just above its last falls before it reached tidewater in the Sandsfjorden. Apparently, this river is the largest in this part of Norway and is a significant salmon stream (this first waterfall on the river must pose a bit of a challenge).
