"What a view!" Top 5 Page for this destination Sogn og Fjordane Things to Do Tip by evaanna

After spending a night on Sandane campsite we took Road 13 going south. On the map it is marked as scenic so we expected great views. But what we saw by far surpassed our expectations. Its part between Moskog and Dragsvik is a fantastic mountain road, extremely winding, and no less difficult than the famous Trollstigveien, Trolls' Ladder (see my Andalsnes page). But this time we were going down and when I saw the road we were going to descend in a minute my hair stood on end. The view was superb, the wilderness of the mountains overgrown with low forest and the narrow ribbon of the road winding its way down and down into the valley below. It was one of those places where you are awed into silence by nature's creations.
There was just another couple there admiring the view - most people just go to see the Jostedalsbreen glacier and then take a direct road to Sogndal, much of which runs in a tunnel.
And yet here in this wild spot, civilisation had left its mark. Unbelievable as it seemed to us, there was an ultra-modern toilet in this deserted beauty spot, with all the latest appliances and very well kept. For the trolls perhaps? There is no end to surprises in Norway.
