Around the beautiful Eldhusøya on Møre you will now find a promenade equipped with fiberglass gratings. Glassfiber Produkter has delivered approximately 700 meters of gratings, 32 benches plus other fiberglass profiles for the walkway. The attraction on Eldhusøya opened on Friday, July 4th.
The beautiful scenery along the Atlantic Road makes drivers want to stop and enjoy the scenery, but the road's few stopping points and narrow bridges can make it dangerous. The new walking promenade gives tourists the opportunity to park and take a round trip with beautiful scenery on all sides.
The walkway meanders smoothly through the landscape and has already been referred to as the “floating path”. The gratings form a solid and accessible path that can be used by pedestrians, cyclists, wheelchairs and walkers. You can follow the path around the entire island, close to the water’s edge. The fiberglass has properties that make it perfect for such surroundings. The material is corrosion-free and will withstand the elements of nature.
The focus is on attractions along national tourist routes with the goal of showcasing Norwegian nature. There must be high visual quality at viewpoints and picnic areas, something Glassfiber Produkter is proud to deliver.

The walkway goes all the way around Eldhusøya, surrounded by coast and nature.

“Close to the spectacular Atlantic Road – one of Norway's most beautiful tourist road icons – the northwest's new walking promenade winds its way: A newly constructed walkway on solid fiberglass gratings, between knolls and bumps, right out at the water's edge.”

“The viewpoint trail is a round trip that suits everyone and is open every day, all year round. Sure, it's nice in the sun, but the experiences can be just as strong on a stormy day. In the summer months, the café, with windows like a flashing shoal of herring, is open for visitors.”
