Gamle Strynefjellsvegen
Fv258258Grotli to Videsæter
A narrow old summer road over the Strynefjell.
The Gamle Strynefjellsvegen is the old, narrow summer mountain road over the Strynefjell at 1,139 m, a stone-walled single-track past glacier lakes and waterfalls, open only a few months a year. Wild and atmospheric; mind the passing places, the snow walls early in the season, and the cyclists.
