Many old Norwegian poets and artists drew both inspiration and rest from the narrow road that twists at one with nature across the mountain Strynefjell.

The stretch represents a piece of Norwegian natural history as the only way of passage between Skjåk and Stryn during most of the last century.

Today there is an all-year road, however, the old stretch still provides both the vista and the atmosphere. Here you will find wild nature only inhabited by birds and animals adapted to the arctic climate.
