Tourism & Travel /
Norwegian (Bokmal) term or phrase: tiltakspunkt
As explained here:
I løpet av de siste par årene har små, men oppsiktsvekkende arkitekturprosjekter langs norske Turistveger fått nasjonal og internasjonal oppmerksomhet. Disse tiltakspunktene – utkikksplattformer, rasteplasser, serviceanlegg og stoppesteder – kjennetegnes av dristighet i konseptutviklingen og høy kvalitet i gjennomføringen.

The term is used throughout the document as a common reference to the types of "stopping points" referred to here.
