Where is..
The district is called Fjelli and is a part of the
municipality of Stryn.
The district also is called
«Nordsida» («North Side»), as it is located on the north side of the
Nordfjord. The district also includes the districts Blakset and
Randabygda/Hopland.
In earlier times this district belonged to the churches at the other side
of the fjord. There was no road connection, so people had to cross the
fjord in open boats. That could be quite a challenge when the
weather was rough. No matter if it was funerals or infant baptism.
Just imagine how it was walking down steep, may be slippery slopes carrying
the infant to the fjord, putting out the rowing boat, and try to cross the
fjord in strong wind with the waves going high around the boat. From
about 1936, motor boats came in use. that helped a lot. Though, the
joy was big when we got our own church in the early 70's.

In 2005, a new road was opened
between Randabygda/Hopland and Hennebygda, farthest to the west of this
district. This road was the last piece of the road that was planned to
go along the fjord from Faleide in the east to Nordfjordeid in the west.
As it took about 90 years from plans to the completion date. and since they
made the road "step by step", the different parts of the road got
unequal road numbers. But it is most known by the name "Route 613" everyday talk
