Step bridge at Vøringsfossen waterfall, Observation deck and footbridge at Vøringsfossen waterfall, Norway
The metal bridge spans 47 meters over a deep gorge, featuring 99 steps that connect multiple viewing platforms around the Vøringsfossen waterfall.
The development of tourism infrastructure at Vøringsfossen began with facilities near Fossli Hotel and culminated in the bridge opening in August 2020.
Norwegian architect Carl-Viggo Hølmebakk integrated the bridge design with the natural landscape, reflecting the connection between infrastructure and nature.
Visitors can reach the bridge through designated paths from two parking areas, with restroom facilities available between April and October.
The structure incorporates seven main components mounted on tripods, secured into the rock with long bolts 50 meters above the water rapids.
