Somehow I stumbled on to some photos by Todd Saunders (one of the architects) and they really took me by surprise. This unique destination opened 2006 and I had not heard of it until now.
At first glance I thought this was the Grand Canyon Skywalk we’ve written about before, but this is much cooler, I think.
It’s the Aurland Lookout in Aurland, Norway. True Scandinavian design — think IKEA tourism, with a dash of Tony Hawk thrown in.
The design makes it seem as if you can fall right off if you continue walking to the end, but in reality a sheet of plate glass protects would-be daredevils from sliding off the edge into the woods.
