A 360o panorama allows the visitor a view of Slovenia in  the south to the Czech Republic in the north. The Sky Walk is distinctly  higher than the platforms of the Niagara Falls or even the one at the  Iguazu waterfalls in Brazil  .<img src="http://by136w.bay136.mail.live.com/mail/SafeRedirect.aspx?hm__tg=http://65.55.141.121/att/GetAttachment.aspx&hm__qs=file%3d406c6ee7-de81-4359-bf87-f48cb48e1332.gif%26ct%3daW1hZ2UvZ2lm%26name%3dQVRUNTkyMzQ3LmdpZg_3d_3d%26inline%3d1%26rfc%3d0%26empty%3dFalse%26imgsrc%3dcid%253a3.3726463983%2540web62004.mail.re1.yahoo.com&oneredir=1&ip=10.1.106.110&d=d3638&mf=0&a=01_fe342b1d394fb54cd8d500bf8a4cec677a765bf98e39f98a5634037e1973cc28" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Aurland  Lookout ( Norway )<img src="http://by136w.bay136.mail.live.com/mail/SafeRedirect.aspx?hm__tg=http://65.55.141.121/att/GetAttachment.aspx&hm__qs=file%3dce0c82a4-ca8c-4691-97ae-9e082093a10f.jpg%26ct%3daW1hZ2UvanBlZw_3d_3d%26name%3dQVRUNTkyMzQ4LmpwZw_3d_3d%26inline%3d1%26rfc%3d0%26empty%3dFalse%26imgsrc%3dcid%253a4.3726463983%2540web62004.mail.re1.yahoo.com&oneredir=1&ip=10.1.106.110&d=d3638&mf=0&a=01_fe342b1d394fb54cd8d500bf8a4cec677a765bf98e39f98a5634037e1973cc28" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Architects  Todd Saundersand Tommie Wilhelmsen were commissioned to design a  scenic rest-stop 2000ft above Aurland fjord in Norway and came up with  this beauty wining the first prize in Norwegian tourist routes  competition.
