If you’re interested in taking a little detour you can continue through the tunnel towards Fjordgård and hike up Segla (639 metres above sea level) for unbeatable views of the surrounding mountains and fjords.
The ridge that leads to the top is quite steep and can be a bit challenging if you are not fond of heights. Those that love heights can carefully peer over the edge to witness the sheer drop towards the ocean below.
