The drive offers impressive scenic contrasts, and you should take enough time to enjoy all impressions along the way.

Along the Norwegian Scenic Routes, you will find excellent rest areas that have been constructed with a focus on the combination of landscape and architecture. The area around the Vøringsfossen waterfall is one of the most spectacular. Here you can experience the impressive waterfall from one of the many viewpoints along the cliff. If you are not afraid of heights, you should also test the bridge over the waterfall canyon. Another way to explore Vøringsfossen up close is the hiking trail in the waterfall valley.
