 In 1891 a new road with tunnels was built along "Eidfjordvandet," and in the same year the Fossli Hotel was finished, designed in Art Nouveau style by architect Frederik Konow Lund.All materials for the construction had to be carried on horseback from Eidfjord up to the top of the hill.Around the year 1900 large cruise ships began to visit Eidfjord, and from there passengers were transported by horse and wagon up the valley.
