About location

The landscape around Grotli is a largely treeless high-mountain terrain of lakes, birch scrub and rounded slopes, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. Beside Breiddalsvatnet, the small settlement stands on Norwegian National Road 15, the main route across the high country between eastern Norway and the Nordfjord area. Grotli is also the eastern end of Gamle Strynefjellsvegen, the old Strynefjell road, completed in 1894. Its stone-built route was later superseded as the main through road but remains a historic mountain passage. Scattered homes and roadside services reinforce the remote, transit-oriented character of this upland stop.
