About the photo
Stegastein was one of my must see things in Norway. I have seen zillions of photos of this spectacular viewpoint. But I wanted to find something more unique. It was this tree on the edge of the cliff over the road. Luckily, we the only people on this popular spot that day.
About the place
(wikipedia)
Stegastein is a part of the national tourist road that leads from Aurland to Laerdal, popularly known as "The snow road".
The Stegastein construction is an attraction in itself. The four meter wide, 30 meter long platform that juts out from the mountain made from laminated wood and steel has garnered attention far beyond the Norwegian borders and has gained distinctions for exiting architecture.
The Stegastein viewpoint juts 30 meters out from the side of the mountain, 650 meters above the Aurland fjord.
