Norway has been long renowned for the unique beauty of its nature. Modern architecture and preservation techniques, enhance the country’s sightseeings, so simply driving along the Norwegian highways is an outstanding experience on its own. Besides the natural beauty, the Norwegian Scenic Route has the most beautiful restrooms in the world.
The Norwegian Scenic Route is called that way for a reason. Its rest areas offer an incredible views of the surrounding mountains, fjords and the sea. This is a particularly popular route for tourists, because they may also catch a view of the Northern lights. Contrary to its beauty, this spot recently got all the attention for a very surprising reason: a public toilet.
Norway decided to enhance the natural beauty of its highways by building unique, modern structures along the road. One of the stops in Helgelandskysten area, provides a great view of the sea and mountains. Also, it has marble benches and steps, that lead directly to the sea.
The bathroom, which cost £1.4million to build, sits in a ‘wave-shaped’ building on top of a cliff
‘The rest area is now open to the public.
In the winter there is hardly a more beautiful place to admire the northern lights, and the same goes for the midnight sun in the summer.
After extensive upgrading, Ureddplassen now shines in new splendour.
The toilet building was designed by Marit Justine Haugen and Dan Zohar, architects based in the Norwegian capital of Oslo for the Ureddplassen rest area for a site along the Helgelandskysten Norwegian Scenic Route in the northern region of Gildeskål.
Nearby is a memorial sculpture commemorating Norwegians who died in a Second World War submarine in 1943, opened by King Olav V, Metro reports.
