Why go to Norway..This is one reason!

The Geiranger-Trollstigen Route nicknamed the “Golden Route”offers 106km of spectacular Nordic nature. Six routs are already complete and 12 more will be complete by 2020. The Tourist routes are aimed at drawing tourists to all corners of Norway. By pairing great architecture with beautiful drives the country of Norway seeks to put itself on the map as one of the best destinations for Nature travelers.  

 This is TrollStigen road. It translates to Troll Ladder in English. 
One of the signs you will see on the road.

 Awesome sitting nooks
Not every one can do the long walk to get to Trolltunga.(pictured above) So how do you give the travelers the feeling of the raw / natural beauty that Norway possesses?.

By doing this. The glass is leaning against the edge, and the "floor" is falling off like a waterfall, creating a good vertigo.

You can visit Trollstigen both summer and winter. The experience will be very different each time, the weather changes drastically from one day to the next and no matter what the weather it will be a great adventure. If you want to read more about the "Golden Route" you can click here
