About this audio guide
This guide to Stegastein, the lookout above the Aurlandsfjord on the fjord route from Bergen, starts on the pine planks of its ramp in June two thousand six, the day a government minister came to open it. It reaches back to the farm tracks and the mountain pass to Lærdal that came before it, and to a tunnel that changed what that old road was for. Best heard walking slowly out along the ramp.
