On July 31, 2014, we headed for Rogaland to meet Tom's Sandstøl cousins for a tour of Tom's ancestral farms. We checked in at Ben's Kafe in Helleland and found that cousin Magnar, a local policeman, had asked them to treat us royally. They were excited to serve us lunch, a delicious hamburger that included corn as a condiment.
After lunch we set out to explore. Heading northeast on Hwy 42 in 3 km we found Terland Klopp. It is located in Gyadalen valley. It is a 60m long dry stacked stone slab bridge from the early 19th century with 21 arches, which vary from one to two meters. It is said that Terland Klopp is the longest and best preserved bridge of it’s kind in Norway.
Terland Klopp was built in the early 1800's and was expanded many times. It was used until 1977. After restoration in 1986, it became protected by the Directorate of Cultural Heritage in 2008.

Rustic beauty like abounds in Norway.
