Norway, the country of waterfalls
Norway is literally full of hundreds of mountain waterfalls, but especially so in springtime. At that time, we're probably talking thousands, many of them incredibly impressive or beautiful!

The Atlantic Road - Møre og Romsdal
Atlanterhavsveien (The Atlantic Road) is the part of Norwegian national road 64 (Rv 64) that connects the island of Averøy to Vevang, Eide, on the mainland; by extension, the road connects the cities of Kristiansund and Molde.
Construction work on the road started on August 1, 1983, with the opening taking place on July 7, 1989. During this period there were no less than 12 hurricanes in the area. The 8.3 km (5 mile) long road is built on several small islands and skerries, and is spanned by eight bridges and several landfills.
This road has an open sea view which is not so common for roads along the Norwegian coast, since there are archipelagos that obscures this view. Here the distance between the islands is so small that a road could be built across the archipelago. In addition there are fjords and mountains inside the road.
The spectacular road quickly became a popular tourist attraction to the extent that caution must be shown when driving it, as both the local population and visitors frequently use the road to go fishing for cod and other saltwater fish directly from the roadside.
Atlanterhavsveien was voted "Norwegian Construction of the Century" on 27 September 2005, and is currently Norway's second most visited scenic road after Trollstigen (also in Møre og Romsdal). Atlanterhavsveien's sharp turns and wild nature have ranked it first on The Guardian's list of the world's best road trips, in sharp competition with world renowned attractions such as Northern Ireland's Antrim coast road and the Himalayas - (Wikipedia)

Husøy, Senja - Troms
Husøy (the House Island) is a small island about 1000 meters long and 500 meters wide located on the far north of the island of Senja. The island is connected to the surrounding world by a 300 meter long pier and road. People started to move to the island around 1950 and the 200 living there today is just as dependent on the fisheries as they were 50 years ago. The houses are almost built wall to wall and this create a good fellowship, which may be needed in such a harsh climate where even the the roofs have backstays. Everything is nearby on Husøy; the local store, the fish processing industry, the school, the cafe, everything is within a 5 minutes walk no matter where you might be on the island!
