About This File
Another short (8km) utility road in the Aurland II hydro power plant system, but with a twist - a dark and steep 3km tunnel through the mountain from FV50. The tunnel starts at 1050m asl and exits at 1250m, before the final section towards and Nyhellervatnet at and around 1450m. There is no lighting in the tunnel!
It's a good place to pack a Zodiac. 5 years have passed since I visited, but this track should still be current and.
This road and tunnel was also to bring materials and machinery into the Aurland II hydro power plant system, and a prerequisite for the aproval to the project was that the roads would be open to the public after the project completed. Most other hydro power plant developments in Norway was not subject to the same requirement for open utility roads, and these roads are usually closed or have limited access.
