Norway #3

Trollstigen highway, Norway

The famous (at least in Norway) "Trollstigen" highway. "Trollstigen" means "Troll's Ladder", named for the extremely steep switchbacked mountainside highway in this picture. It was quite an engineering feat, and much fun to drive (with a great view). The town of Aandalsnes is on the barely-visible fjord in the far distance. The train route from Aandalsnes to Oslo runs along this valley too (and somehow makes it up this thing!).
