Norwegian giant

Road tunnels for cars are much shorter. The longest one, which can be passed on four wheels, is the Norwegian Lærdal. You can drive a car in it for 24.5 km. It was built in only 5 years. They laid the foundation stone in 1995 and opened it in 2000. You will find it when going on E16 from Oslo to Bergeb. It is worth to get inside the tunnel due to aesthetic reasons, too. It is divided into 4 parts and separated by 3 natural caves which serve as a resting place or for recovery and distraction, since driving for 24 km in a dark tube may sound romantic, but it is a bigger burden for drivers than driving in a city.

It´s an interesting fact Norway exports salmons to approximately 100 countries in the world. For a longer time the main market has been in France.
