View from Stalheim

View of the valley Nærøydalen from the Stalheim Hotel. On the left glimpses of the old road (Stalheimskleiva) zigzagging down to Nærøydalen. It is narrow and has a maximum inclination of 18.5 percent, but it's safe to drive there. The main road now descends through a tunnel. This is one of the most photographed views in Norway. And painted, see below.
