Norway Aurlandsfjord near Aurland
Amazing view over the Aurlandsfjord in Norway. The viewpoint is called Stegastein, 640m above sea level.
Stegastein is located near the southwestern end of the Norwegian scenic route Aurlandsfjellet. It is the only one of these routes for which a specific direction of travel is recommended: "Most scenic routes are stunning no matter what direction you drive in but this particular stretch presents its most dramatic side if you start the trip at Lærdal and drive towards Aurlandsvangen."
This route, with a pass altitude of 1,300 m, passes through one of the most dramatic wilderness and rocky desert landscapes. A grandiose arc of tension is built up in the recommended direction of travel.
