Gudbrandsjuvet

Gudbrandsjuvet is a river gorge in the Valldøla River in Fjord Municipality (formerly Norddal ) in Sunnmøre . Visitor centers and viewing platforms are part of the National Tourist Route along County Road 63 from Geiranger to Trollstigen . County Road 63 crosses the river by bridge over the gorge. Gudbrand Bridge is a dry-walled stone arch bridge built in 1919 as part of the main road Valldal-Romsdal. The stone arch bridge replaced an old bridge (existing in 1785), the old bridge was 12 cubits long and 3 cubits wide. The watery river flows between gorges and cracks in the mountain and meets from quite unexpected angles, before flowing under the bridge and plunging further down the valley. The gorge is partly formed by several large potholes. The water feature is a tourist attraction, and platforms and bridges have been built in a mixture of glass and rust-corroded iron in both walls and floors. Nearby is the Juvet landscape hotel, with the rooms as separate buildings on stilts in the terrain by the gorge.
