Just north of Sand, the Suldalslågen river reaches the sea at Sandsfossen. This is not a tall waterfall, but it is broad and powerful - you can hear the roar from far away.
Suldalslågen is one of Norway's best salmon rivers. The fish run up from the fjord between May and September, and anglers come from all over the world to fish here. In summer, you can visit the Salmon Studio nearby to watch the fish through underwater windows.
Crossing the river is Høsebrua, a pedestrian bridge designed by Rintala Eggertsson Architects and completed in 2013. The structure is built from Corten steel with mesh panels that let you see down to the water rushing beneath. At night, internal lighting makes the bridge glow. It won Bridge of the Year from Travel + Leisure Magazine in 2014.
The bridge connects Sand to a woodland recreation area on the other side. Before it was built, local residents were invited to comment on the designs - unusual for a Norwegian infrastructure project.
There is parking near the Salmon Studio, and it is only a couple of minutes' walk from the centre of Sand.
