This stopping point presents the experience of the Svandalsfossen waterfall, which lies on a National Tourist route between the small industrial city of Sauda and the village of Ropeid, along the north-western side of the Saudafjord. The project allows safe crossing of the road and a wet and wild “next to nature” experience.
On one side, the road is widened to allow for parking, and from there a stairway descends to a platform under the road bridge, close to the waterfall itself. Further steel stairs and paths continue down to the fjord. A side arm of the waterfall is reached across a smaller corten steel bridge, where a path leads right to the top.
