Haukeli Road

The Haukeli Road (toll), opened in 1886 and later partly re-aligned, is one of the most rewarding routes to the southern part of the Norwegian west coast, with superb views of mountain scenery. There are many unlit tunnels, particularly in the eastern section of the road.

From Haukeligrend the road climbs up the Haukelifjell, passing an old stabbur at Botn (915m/3,000ft). Soon it rises above the tree-line, and the view to the west opens up.
