The Old Strynefjell Road (Norwegian: Nasjonal turistveg Gamle Stynefjellsvegen) runs from Grotli to Videsæter (south-western Norway), a total distance of 27 km (16.77 mi). In places this stretch is narrow with a number of bends and there are restrictions. Vehicles that are more than 8 m long and have an axle load of more than 8 tonnes will be banned from driving on it. The decision to build this road was made in 1881, and the work was completed in 1894. The road is closed during winter and opens in June.
