Contemplate our relationship with nature at this unique viewpoint

At the top of winding road up the Erdal Valley in the Aurlandsfjellet mountains is Vedahaugane. The viewpoint provides not only a point to admire the tall peaks of the distant Jotunheimen massif, but also a hidden artwork. A curved walkway and bench lead towards a small cave, where the art installation “DEN” explores man’s impact on nature over time.

Facts

  • The structure was designed by LJB AS - Lars Berge and completed in 2012

The Borgund Stave Church, at 900 years old, is definitely worth seeing. Combined with the wild landscape of Aurlandfjellet, it makes a great route.
