Geocache Description:

Gamle Strynefjellsvegen - Heillstuguvatnet:
This cache is placed at the Gamle Strynefjellsvegen (RV 258). This old Tourist Route is an alternative route to a new, in 1978 builted, 12-kilometre long road with three tunnels (Road 15). However, it is still the old road that provides a view and perspective. Nature displays its contrasts along this stretch of road, with the rounded, glacier-scoured forms to the east and a steeper, more precipitous topography to the west.

The National Tourist Route runs between Grotli and Videsæter and is 27 kilometres long.

The Høyfjellshotel in Grotli, in the end of the Tourist Route, is a good place for a break.

Historical Information:
Gamle Strynefjellsvegen is a piece of cultural heritage more than 100 years old. Between the mountain village of Skjåk and the fjord village of Stryn there were several ancient routes for the transport of people and essential goods. It was a strenuous and slow journey.
