The longest wooden stairs in the world can be found in Norway. It is located on the territory of a small town of Florli. The length of the stairway is 1600 meters, it consists of 4444 steps. This amazing staircase is one of the main attractions of the city and leads to the important historical object - the power station, which was built here in the early 20th century. The staircase has no fences and creaks noticeably during the walk. The height difference between the first and the last steps is 740 meters.
Travellers who are not afraid to go a long way along the old wooden staircase will have an opportunity to admire the incredibly beautiful historic Art Nouveau building. During the ascent, it will be possible to notice huge pipes laid along it. It was through them that water was once fed into the operating power station. Those who do not want to or are afraid to go up the stairs will be offered to climb to the historic site on a cable car.
The pipeline and the stairs lie in the incredibly beautiful mountainous area. Many experienced travellers try to visit the town of Florli in late spring or summer. At this time of year, the staircase literally passes through a tunnel of green trees, landscapes surrounding the landmark are simply unrepeatable. Fans of leisurely walks should not believe that climbing the stairs will be simple, in some areas the angle of its rise is very large.
