Never have I ever biked up a hill like I did today. The flat ride along the fjord form Flam to Aurland wasn't difficult but as we left Aurland the incline was steady and steep! In 8 km we climbed 650m on a single lane road that switched back and forth numerous times before bringing us to the Stegastien viewpoint, a large walkway built straight out of the cliff with a glass pane at the end so as the walkway slopes off, viewers can look almost straight down on to Aurland. The sheer size and majesty of the fjord walls were a wonder to take in at every angle. The cloud cover today made for a dramatic experience but also kept us cool on our ride up. What took us 80 minutes to do going up took 9 minutes going down. Talk about adrenaline...
