Stalheimskleiva, Heritage road in Voss, Norway

The Stalheimskleiva mountain road stretches for 1.5 kilometers through the Nærøydalen valley, incorporating thirteen hairpin turns with a 20 percent grade.

The construction of this mountain passage, completed between 1842 and 1846, established a crucial mail transportation route connecting Bergen with Oslo.

The road represents Norwegian engineering achievements of the nineteenth century, demonstrating the determination to connect isolated communities across mountainous terrain.

Although closed to vehicular traffic, visitors can walk one kilometer from the top section near Stalheim Hotel toward the valley floor.

Two large waterfalls, Stalheimsfossen at 125 meters and Sivlefossen at 140 meters, frame both sides of the winding road.
