Grunnfør syklisthus (Grunnfør Cyclists Shelter)
Description
The cyclists' shelter is located at Grunnfør on the northern side of Lofoten. The landscape is flat with breathtaking views of Vesterålen to the north and the mountains to the south. The building offers the visiting cyclists a sheltered space to both rest and enjoy the surroundings away from the wind or rain. Its two storey cuboid body stands sturdily in the landscape, the lower parts clad in wood and the upper in glass.
