Aurlandsfjellet Nordeca Tourist Route 20005

This Aurlandsfjellet National Tourist Route Map belongs to a series of 18 map and postcards sets describing popular tourist routes all over Norway. The map set includes a map in 1: 50,000 presenting an accurate topography (based on the Norwegian topographic survey) which describes local footpaths, cycle or ski routes, sport and recreational facilities, places of interest, places to stay and eat, viewpoints.Aurlandsfjellet National Tourist Route is a 47-kilometre-long stretch of road between Aurlandsvangen by the Aurlandsfjord and Lรฆrdal by the Sognefjord in the county of Sogn og Fjordane in Fjord Norway.The route between Aurland and Lรฆrdal has its highest point at 1,306 metres above seal level. There is snow along the roads most of the summer. Because of this, the road is also called the “Snow road”.Travelling from Lรฆrdal, the view that opens up on the descent towards the dramatic fjord landscape in and around Aurland is astounding, with the award-winning Stegastein viewpoint as the piรจce de rรฉsistance. Made of laminated timber and steel, this platform sticking 30 metres out into thin air, 650 metres above the fjord gives the landscape a whole new dimension.The old buildings at Lรฆrdalsรธyri, the Flรฅm Railway, the Aurlandsdalen Valley and the Nรฆrรธyfjord, which like Geirangerfjord is on UNESCO`s World Heritage List, are all attractions in the area that are well worth a visit. So is the Norwegian Wild Salmon Centre in Lรฆrdal.The set features:One map: scale 1:50,000 Text in three languages (Norwegian, English and German)5 Postcards (13.5x25cm)To see the list of other titles in this series, please click on the series link.
